Bar Magnifier, small

Summary

Special clearance price while stocks last (once sold, there are no more)

About 2X magnification. A cylinder of plastic, rest it on the page, slide it down. Total 6 inches, length of magnifier is 3.5 inches. Small enough to carry in a top pocket (it even has a clip) yet large enough to read the width of a newspaper column.

Particularly good for dyslexics - it's not the magnification that helps, it's the 'guide line' that stops the eye from wandering. 

In the photograph the clip is blue. Some clips are blue, some are white - supplied as available.

Why?

Q. Why is this in the "Clearance" section?

A.
This is a good seller. They sell at the rate of 3 or 4 per month. However, we have several hundred in stock. so it would be good for us to ‘clear’ some of them. 

Technical

Magnification / lens size in mm: 2X 80X10

Field of view: It rests exactly on the page and is almost flat, so the field of view is exactly 80mm X 10mm.

Lens material: plastic

Presentation: Plain cardboard box

Origin / brand: I bought these as a 'job lot' and haven't actually any idea where they originate, probably China...most items you see here in the U.K. are made in China.
