The Precision illuminated LU24LED 10x Pocket Magnifier, features a GLASS Lens housed in a frame with a chromed swivel cover to eliminate tarnishing and to protect the lens.  The LU24LED is best used for applications requiring a great deal of precision, enabling the close examination of coins, stamps, jewellery, and other everyday items.  The LED illumination can optimise viewing when surrounding light is less than ideal. The LU24LED can be used effectively as a handheld magnifier, or held close to the eye for use as a powerful eye loupe (pronounced loop).
