PEAK 1961 Loupe Optical Magnifier - Glass Lens - 10x

PEAK. Optics worth looking through.
This is one of the best moderately priced magnifiers for looking a fountain pen nibs and the model we use for checking fountain pen nibs.
Two optical quality glass lenses that give 10x mangification and sufficient field of view to obtain a very clear image of the nib and the tine alignment.
The clear acrylic skirt allows light in and also shows you the focal plane of the magnifier so you know where to place the nib for the clearest view. When checking tine alignment, hold the fountain pen at a 45 degree angle to mimic the angle of writing. Then look across the tines to check they are perfectly aligned.
Also available in 15x if you require more magnification, but this does reduce the field of view and requires a steady hand.
Do not look directly at light sources or the sun with the magnifier.
Made in Japan.
