20x Hastings Triplet New York

The 20x Hastings Triplet Loupe is a high-quality magnifying glass, or “loupe”.

Key features of the loupe include:

20x Magnification: Objects appear 20 times larger than their actual size, allowing for detailed inspection.

Hastings Triplet Lens: This lens system uses three individual glass lenses. These are bonded together to correct optical distortions like chromatic aberration (color fringing) and spherical aberration. This results in a sharp, clear, and true-color image, especially at the edges of the field of view.

Foldable, Pocket-Sized Design: The metal casing swivels to protect the lens. This makes the loupe compact and easy to carry.

Durable Construction: It is typically made with a robust metal body (often stainless steel) for longevity and reliability.

Battery-Free Operation: The loupe relies solely on its optical properties, eliminating the need for batteries or power sources.

Common Applications: It is primarily used by jewelers for inspecting gemstones and diamonds, as well as by stamp and coin collectors, watchmakers, and hobbyists for examining intricate details.
