Large 21mm(0.85'') Achromatic Triplet Lens Gathers Light for a Bright, Clear and Color Correct View
Optical Quality Glass Lenses, each BelOMO loupe is certified just like a camera lens.
Editorial Review:
The BelOMO 10x21mm(0.85'') Triplet Loupe Magnifier has a viewing area of 0.65" (17mm), much larger than the Bausch & Lomb Hastings Triplet Magnifier (see the image with both loupes for a size comparison). The large 21mm (.85") 3 elements lens making up this achromatic triplet gathers lots of light to provide a bright, clear, and color correct view. The 10x power magnification provides the best magnification to depth of field ratio and is the most poplular power for a handheld magnifier. The housing and cover have a matte black finish for gem grading. Belarusian Optical and Mechanical Association (BelOMA), makers of telescopes, camera lenses, and other optical components manufacuturs these loupes. Highly recommended by the Amateur Geologist. This is the lens we use all the time. Don't let this price fool you. The BelOMO loupe is a FANTASTIC buy. These are optical quality lenses, each one inspected and certified just like a camera lens, that stand on their own against the higher priced competition. BelOMO loupes are assembled using screws rather than rivets which allows them to be adjusted. Every BelOMO loupe shipped by Amateur Geologist is custom treated to prevent the screws from coming loose with usage. Don't be fooled by cheap loupes selling for nearly the same price of MORE! Many don't even tell the manufacturer. Why? Because they're cheap imports from China, Japan, Tawain or elsewhere which typically cost less than a dollar at import. If you don't know the manufacturer how can you know the quality? Is each lens tested and does it include the certification just like a camera lens? The BelOMO does. Triplet means three lenses made of different types of optical glass bonded together and designed that, together, they straighten out the light that comes into the front of the loupe lens so that it's the same when it leaves. Cheap mport triplets are just three identical pieces of glass, not bonded, that distort the image.

Excellent value for a Hastings Triplet Magnifier This is a superb Hastings Triplet Magnifier. For those of you who are familiar with high quality hand held magnifiers, then you know that a Hastings Triplet lens is the best type. Certainly it is much better than a single lens magnifier, a doublet lens magnifier or a Coddington magnifier. This BelOMO 10 power magnifier has achromatic (i.e., color corrected) optical glass triple lenses for minimal distortion. It is especially well constructed. The lens swivels back into its protective metal shell when not in... more info
Hard to beat as a "walk around" magnifier Compared to the 20x loupes, the BelOMO is sharper, sharper at the edges, and easier to navigate and focus. Compared to other loupes I've used, like the best 7x loupe I've found, the BelOMO is obviously better optically, very high wow factor. In other words, my usual experience is that one typically sacrifices some aspect of optical quality to get more magnification. The BelOMO delivers increased magnification while improving most aspects of optical quality. Although the viewable area decreases... more info
Almost perfect! But shop for a better price. This really is the premiere 10x loupe for hobbyists and amateurs of all sorts, and many professionals as well. It is sturdy and the glass is clear and of a generous size. The price can't be beat either. Fortunately for us, the BelOMO seems to be available pretty regularly, from a number of sellers, which hasn't always been the case. In my case, I think I purchased four of them at one point, and mine has since been misplaced but my kind hubby loaned me his. I have several other loupes but this one is... more info
as described The past reviews give a clear description of what the product is. The loupe is powder coated metal with a large viewing area, has nice clarity and feels pretty heavy and solid.
