Eschenbach 1184-20 Folding Magnifier 20x 17mm Achromatic Lens

The Eschenbach 1184-20 is a precision folding magnifier built around an achromatic lens system that eliminates color aberration for crystal-clear, true-color optics. The lens consists of coated elements cemented together using different types of glass, a construction that removes the extraneous color fringing common in single-element magnifiers. The result is exceptional optical clarity ideal for close inspection work at the bench.

At 20x magnification with a 17mm lens diameter, this magnifier delivers powerful enlargement in a compact, pocketable form. The black metal lens frame and chrome-plated brass handle give it a professional, durable feel suited to daily use by jewelers, gemologists, and watchmakers. Note that 20x is a very high magnification—the field of view is narrow and the focal depth is very shallow, requiring steady hands and precise positioning.
