Hand lens are small magnifiers with thick powerful lens. They are used for examining minerals and rocks, stamps, coins, etc Jewelers cal them ‘jeweler’s loupes’. Naturalists call the same items ‘hand lens’.

This is the first hand lens I bought for Nature Study and it still works perfectly. That’s because of the high quality. I wrote a post on Choosing A Hand Lens for Nature Study.
