The Carson CP-45 MeasureLoupe, a hand-held magnifier with a powerful 11.5x magnification, brings small objects into a larger view and gives you the ability to see minute details clearly. It enables you to work with precision when soldering a circuit board, sewing a fine pattern, or simply viewing your stamp collection. Built into the eyepiece is a reticle, which can be used as a measuring scale or an aid in locating objects in the field of view. Use the built-in LEDs to help illuminate an object, or switch over to the UV light, which assists in seeing watermarks on currency or paper.
