Carson Metal LinenTest LT-60 - folding magnifying glass 6.5x (20mm)
If you are looking for a reliable, robust and yet compact loupe for everyday professional use, the Carson Metal LinenTest LT-60 folding loupe is exactly what you need. It combines classic craftsmanship in a metal frame with optical performance that anyone working with fine detail will appreciate - whether in textile inspection, printing, or precise surface control.
Sharp image across the entire lens
The loupe offers 6.5x magnification through a 20mm acrylic lens. An important detail that experienced loupe users will recognise: the 6.5x magnification is guaranteed across the full area of the lens, not just at its centre. This means a sharp and geometrically accurate image from edge to edge - without the unwanted distortion or drop in magnification at the periphery that affects cheaper alternatives.
Metal frame with a built-in measuring scale
The loupe frame is made of metal, giving it a pleasantly solid feel and good resistance to everyday wear. Both sides of the frame are engraved with a measuring scale in inches and centimetres - a practical aid when measuring rasters, fabrics or other structures directly on the observed object. When folded, the loupe measures just 20 x 20 x 10 mm and weighs 41 g, so it fits easily in a pocket or in the included soft pouch.
Who is the LT-60 designed for?
A fabric and raster inspection loupe of this type is a standard tool in the textile industry, print shops and among graphic technicians - and the LT-60 fully meets these demands. It is equally well suited for collectors, philatelists, numismatists or anyone who needs a detailed view of small objects.
