Carson TriView 3x/5.5x/8.5x folding loupe with built-in case
Looking for a magnifier that handles a variety of tasks without compromise? The Carson TriView folding loupe with triple magnification - 3x, 5.5x and 8.5x - offers exactly the flexibility appreciated by anyone working with fine details. Whether you are a stamp or coin collector, a watchmaker, a jeweler, or simply someone who wants reliable optics always at hand, this single compact tool replaces several specialized loupes. Thanks to its integrated case, it is always ready to use.
Three magnification levels for every task
3x - quick overview
The base magnification of 3x is ideal for a quick overview and orientation - for example when reading fine print or taking a first look at an object under examination.
5.5x - detailed work
The medium level of 5.5x allows more detailed work with text, maps or material surfaces.
8.5x - precision optics
The highest magnification of 8.5x is designed for precise optical tasks where you need to resolve truly fine details - such as micrography, engravings on gemstones or the structure of samples.
The folding construction ensures that switching between lenses is quick and intuitive - simply unfold the relevant segment.
Optical quality you can rely on
The lens with a diameter of 30 mm (1.2″) provides a sufficiently large field of view even at the highest magnification, so working with the loupe is not tiring even during extended periods of concentration. Carson's quality optical glass delivers a clean, sharp image with no significant chromatic aberration across the entire lens surface - a detail that technically savvy users will notice immediately.
Compact design and protective case
When folded, the entire device measures just 4.3 × 1.6 × 1.1 inches and weighs approximately 36 grams (0.08 lbs). This pocket loupe with integrated case easily fits into a shirt pocket, tool pouch or camera bag. The built-in case is not merely an aesthetic accessory - it protects the lenses from scratches and dust during transport, extending the life of the optics and keeping them in perfect condition for precise observation.
Who is this loupe for?
This loupe appeals to a wide range of users:
- Coin, banknote and stamp collectors who value the precision of higher magnification for authentication
- Jewelers and watchmakers working with small components
- Naturalists and geologists evaluating samples in the field
- Photographers and print professionals checking print quality
Thanks to triple magnification in a single folding loupe, there is no need to carry multiple tools - everything you need is always at hand in one elegant package.
