How we built it

Ground optical glass elements form the core of this classic bench inspection tool. We mount three bonded lenses into a protective chrome frame, delivering sharp 10x magnification without spherical distortion. The compact swing-out design tucks neatly into a pocket or apron for daily grading and close repair work.

What it does on the bench

Hastings Triplet Optics

We assemble three bonded optical glass lenses to produce an aplanatic and achromatic field of view. The design corrects color fringing and edge distortion across the entire viewing area during diamond and gemstone evaluation.

Chrome Protective Housing

A solid metal case finished in polished chrome encloses the lens assembly when folded shut. The durable swing-out frame shields the precision optics from scratches, impacts, and bench debris between inspections.

True Ten Power Magnification

Built to deliver standard 10x magnification, this instrument provides the precise enlargement required for reading hallmarks, identifying inclusions, and inspecting watch movements. The optical path maintains consistent sharpness from center to edge.

Pocket Sized Portability

Designed for rapid deployment at the bench or counter, the folding body swings open smoothly for instant focus. Its compact profile rests comfortably between the fingers and fits into standard loupe chains or pocket pouches.
