Carson JS-36 magnifying glass - 2.5x magnification, 90 mm lens with 5x spot
Looking for a magnifier that handles everyday tasks as well as more demanding detailed inspection? The Carson JS-36 with 2.5x magnification and a 90 mm lens diameter is a practical tool for reading, map checking, electronics work, philately, or any other activity where you need to reliably enlarge an image without distortion. Thanks to its ergonomic handle, it stays comfortable to hold even during extended use.
Wide-field main lens for large viewing areas
The 90 mm main lens delivers 2.5x magnification - an ideal value when working with larger objects or text, where you need the widest possible field of view at once. Carson guarantees the stated magnification and image quality across the entire active lens surface. No edge blurring, no barrel or pincushion distortion that plagues cheaper magnifiers. The image is genuinely sharp and true from centre to edge.
Integrated 5x spot lens - two magnifications in one
A technically interesting feature is the bifocal 5x spot lens, integrated directly into the handle. When you encounter a detail that requires significantly higher magnification - such as fine print, a solder joint, or stamp perforation - simply rotate the handle and you have fivefold magnification available on a smaller area. This solution is far more practical than carrying a second magnifier, and is appreciated by anyone who regularly switches between overview and detail viewing.
