Hand Lens 10×: a Small, Steep Lens Ground and Mounted

A 10× hand lens is a small convex lens of about 25 mm focal length: held close to the eye, its magnifying power is about a quarter of a metre divided by the focal length. Grind a small pair of discs to a steep curve as for any convex lens, then seat the convex one in a turned wooden ring with a cord to carry it. The picture: a low-power reading magnifier on a dictionary page; a 10× hand lens works the same way with a much smaller, steeper lens.

Two small discs

Check 10×

Focus the sun through it onto paper: the spot should be smallest about 25 mm from the lens. Grind deeper if it is longer.

Turn the mount

Turn a hardwood ring on the lathe with a seat a snug fit for the lens and a small lip. Press the lens in, warm a little pitch round the back edge to hold it, drill a hole in the rim for a cord loop.
