What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

This fold-out loupe magnifies up close by 11.5 times through a 15mm dual lens, and a bright built-in LED lights up whatever you're looking at. The base is marked in both inches and centimeters, so you can measure tiny objects while you view them. It suits close-up jobs like counting stitches, checking coins, bills and stamps, or reading the small imprints on jewelry. It folds flat and comes in a plastic case with three button cell batteries already included. At 11.5x, you see a small patch at a time, so it works best for brief, detailed looks rather than reading long passages.
