Tripod Magnifier
Product Code : EL-LAO-10352
Quick answer: The Tripod Magnifier is a 10X magnifier that stands on three metal legs over the specimen, so students can dissect, sort or sketch with both hands while looking through the lens. Its plano-convex lenses give an undistorted field through an 18 mm (0.75 in) aperture. Lab Exports manufactures it in Delhi for schools, colleges and universities.

How it is used
The three legs hold the lens at a fixed height above the table, so the object beneath it stays in view without anyone holding the lens. With both hands free, the student can steady a specimen with a needle or forceps and watch the work at 10X.
The tripod magnifier is a standard aid in elementary biology classes for dissecting flowers and small animals, counting stamens or seeds and examining insect mouthparts, and it is equally handy for inspecting crystals or fabric weaves.
- Stand the magnifier on the table over the specimen.
- Look down through the lens, keeping the eye close to it.
- Move the specimen under the lens until the area of interest is centred.
- Work on the specimen with forceps or a needle while observing.
