Fresnel Acrylic Magnifier Equipment Education Review

Industrial and Scientific magnifying equipment shouldn`t cost this much, and the Fresnel Acrylic version doesn't justify its high price. Using this product, our team found that the magnification was not strong enough to be useful in our experiments. While the product is compact and easy to store, it didn't meet our needs for precision and accuracy. Save your money and invest in a higher quality optics product instead..

Magnifying glasses are about 8 cm in diameter. The lens I bought has a focal length of 80mm. I've used one of these to enlarge small items like restaurant menus. They are made of plastic and scratch easily, so a case is needed to protect the finish. The relatively large diameter of the lens ensures that the sun's rays "quickly ignite" small chips for a campfire.
