Hand Lens is a compact, portable magnifying device used to closely examine small objects and details that are not visible to the naked eye. Commonly used in laboratories, fieldwork, and educational settings, it consists of a convex lens housed in a protective casing with a handle or folding cover. Hand lenses are available in various magnifications, typically ranging from 5x to 20x, and are constructed from optical glass or durable acrylic. They are essential for close-up visual inspection, specimen analysis, and quality control across scientific, industrial, and academic environments.
