Magnifier, Foldable
Magnifier, Foldable (Product Code: SLE/M/96) is an upright plastic stand magnifier used to enlarge small objects 2x for hands-free observation in school science and nature-study lessons. Its large 4-inch (about 10 cm) plastic lens locks into place when opened, and an inch/centimetre grid gives learners a scale for judging size. This hand lens magnifier for schools in India is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

What Is the Foldable Magnifier Used For?
Young learners use a 2x stand magnifier to look closely at leaves, seeds, insects, fabric weave, printed dots, soil and sand grains without having to hold a lens steady. Because the lens stays upright once it is locked open, a pupil can turn a specimen with one hand and sketch it with the other, and a small group can take turns at the same object on the desk.
The inch/centimetre grid turns looking into measuring: line up a seed or a small insect against the grid and estimate its length in both units. Plastic lenses scratch more easily than glass, so wipe the lens with a soft cloth rather than paper towel and fold the magnifier flat for storage in a tray or drawer. When pupils need to see cells or fine structures, a microscope is the natural next step.

Frequently Asked Questions
What magnification does the Magnifier, Foldable give?
The Magnifier, Foldable (SLE/M/96) magnifies 2x through a large plastic lens of 4 inches, or about 10 cm, in diameter. A low power with a wide lens gives a broad, easy-to-find view, which suits young learners looking at whole leaves, insects or printed text.
How does the foldable magnifier stand up?
The Magnifier, Foldable is an upright plastic magnifier that locks into place when opened, so it stands on the desk without being held. Folding it back down makes it easier to store between lessons or pack for a field trip.
What is the grid on the Magnifier, Foldable for?
The Magnifier, Foldable carries an inch/centimetre grid for reference. Pupils can line up a small object against the grid to estimate its size, which links a simple observation activity to measurement and to comparing metric and imperial units.
Is the lens of the foldable magnifier glass or plastic?
