hand lens for geology work Feb 15, 2010
This is a great little hand lens for anything that requires 10X magnification for viewing. I use this hand lens mainly for looking at hand samples in the field and the lab/classroom. Compared to the old $5 hand lens that I had previously, the Bausch and Lomb has a much clearer field of view and does not hurt my eyes. The old lens would focus in the center of the lens, yet remain blurry around the edges. The B&L has a very clear view across the whole lens that will not strain your eyes. Overall, I think that the B&L is a great choice for viewing rock/sediment samples or any other 10X work. It appears to be well constructed; I have yet to have any problems. The casing around the lens is plastic. The hand lens is held together by a rivet which will not loosen like a screw. However, I sometimes wonder if it did loosen somehow, then there would be no way for me to tighten it back up...I have yet to have this problem though. One last plus is the hole to connect the hand lens to a lanyard. This is very important for me because I use the lens in the field and between use I am often hiking around, so it is handy to have it on command around my neck. As far as the price goes, it is high. On the order of [...] bucks or so. If it said made in the USA on the side it would be alright, but it doesn't; I'm not sure where they are made. Luckily for me I received this hand lens as a Valentine's gift!
