This magnifier from Bausch & Lomb has such a wide range of uses in industry, schools, office, and laboratory and hobbies that it would be impracticle to list them. Both the lens and light are adjustable. With the lens tilted, small hand-held objects can be worked on or inspected. When the lens is parallel to the work surface anything laid beneath is in focus. The lens is a 2" x 4", 2X power with a special higher power inset lens providing extra magnification, (6X). The stand is constructed of chrome-plated steel rod and the lamp is a 115v GE 7C7. Stand holds lens 5" above surface. Best used when placed on a table or desk.
