Executive Magnifying Glass – Classic Sherlock Holmes – 2½ inch / 63mm

Description

The original detective magnifying glass

For many years, a 2½” hand-held magnifier was an essential forensics tool for detectives, handling crime scene investigations. Along with items like tweezers, rubber gloves, swabs and evidence bags, it was part of the so-called ‘murder bag’ introduced in the 1920s by famous Scotland Yard pathologist, Sir Bernard Spilsbury. Used for checking fingerprints, blood patterns and other evidence, it’s still valued by many forces for initial spot checks before deployment of more advanced DNA and digital examination devices.

2.5x magnification

Compact and portable this magnifier magnifies detailed objects, small print, numbers and markings around 2.5 times (2.5x) their original size. Hold it around 9-10 centimetres away from your subject to enlarge and make it clearer to see. Helpful for hobbies, useful in the office, it’s a handy size magnifying glass for many everyday, near viewing tasks.

Real glass lens

The lens is protected by a sturdy metal neck and rim. Made from real glass, it maximises light transmission, and is naturally resistant to stains, scratches and other marks. A smooth black contrasting handle provides simple grip, and with a weight of just 76 grams, moving and re-positioning this magnifier over your work is a breeze.
