The glass lenses provide high resolution.\nBattery-powered illumination and a clear acrylic base provide additional light\nin low-light areas. A rust-proof brass battery case provides long life. The\nlight requires two C batteries (not included).Diopter (D) is a technical term\nfor the measurement of the light curvature and thickness of a lens. A dioptric\nnumber and a magnification number are not the same thing. Diopter strength\nrepresents a specific magnification power (X). For example, a 5-diopter\nprovides 2.5X magnification (at a distance of 8\"). The higher the diopter, the\nmore magnification a lens can provide. As magnification increases, distance to\nthe object (focal length), and field of view (diameter, or narrowness of view)\ndecrease. Magnifiers and prescription eyeglasses have a diopter value, such as\n1.5 or 2. The dioptric strength of an accessory lens, such as prescription\neyeglasses or an eye loupe, must be added to the dioptric strength of the\nmagnifier to calculate total magnification.Magnifiers are devices used to\nenlarge the visual appearance of an object or image. Magnifiers come in a\nvariety of styles such as hand-held, headband, standing, clip-on, eye loupe,\nand those that hang in a necklace form, or fit in a trouser pocket. Magnifiers\nare commonly made of plastic or glass. They can have one or more lenses with\nvarying magnification abilities, and can have a binocular configuration with a\nsingle lens, or two separate lenses. They are sometimes used with LED or\nfluorescent light sources to help control viewing capabilities. Magnifier\nability is often expressed as magnification at a specific length. For example,\n1.75X at 14\" means that when a magnifier is held at 14\" from a viewer's eyes,\nthe object will be magnified 1.75 times (X) its actual size. As magnification\nincreases, viewing areas and focal length decrease. Magnifiers sometimes have\na diopter number, expressed as + or - D, which is a measurement of strength\n(or power) of the lens. Some magnifiers are marked with a dioptric number on\nthe lens. A high diopter number has a higher magnification than a low diopter\nnumber. Aspheric magnifiers, unlike spheric magnifiers, produce a sharp image\nto the edge of the lens for less distortion. Magnifiers are widely used in\njewelry inspection and fabrication, watch-making, needlework, artwork,\nreading, print inspection, and stamp-collecting.The Fred V. Fowler Company\nmanufactures inspection and measurement instruments such as electronic\nindicators, calipers, bore gages, and digital scales. The company, founded in\n1946, is headquartered in Newton, MA.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul class=\"a\"\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eIlluminated magnifier with 10X magnification enhances the size and resolution of an object or image for a variety of applications including jewelry-making, watch-making, electronic inspection, book-reading, and various hobbies\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eGlass lens provides high resolution\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eRust-proof brass battery case provides long life\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eRequires two C batteries (not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eA dioptric number and a magnification number are not the same thing.
