Magnifying glass (loupe) Carson LinenTest 6.5x (20mm)
Looking for a reliable and compact loupe for precise inspection of fabrics, print screens or graphic materials? The Carson LinenTest LT-20 folding linen tester is exactly what you need. It combines a practical design with optical performance that meets the demands of professionals in the textile industry, printing and graphic studios.
Uniform magnification with a built-in scale
The loupe features a 20mm acrylic lens with 6.5x magnification. The magnification is uniform across the entire lens surface - no edge distortion, no loss of clarity at the periphery. On both sides of the frame, a scale in both inches and centimetres is engraved, so the loupe also serves as a handy ruler when working directly with materials. This is especially useful when checking fabric thread count or counting halftone dots in a print screen.
Compact and pocket-friendly design
The entire loupe weighs just 13g and, thanks to the folding mechanism, fits easily into a shirt pocket or carrying case. When unfolded, it measures 4.4cm x 2.8cm x 1.3cm, taking up minimal space. Despite its small size, the construction is robust enough for daily professional use. When folded, the frame protects the lens, so there is no risk of scratching the optics during transport.

This compact loupe with uniform 6.5x magnification is an ideal tool for:
- Textile technicians and quality control specialists
- Printers and prepress professionals
- Graphic designers and studio technicians
