Handheld magnifier Carson AS-90 7x, battery-powered, size 116.8×246.4×25.4 mm, black

The Carson AS-90 handheld magnifier from the Lumé Series combines a 3.5" acrylic aspheric lens with a separate 7x spot lens and three COB LEDs to deliver portable, point-of-view magnification for reading, inspection and close manual tasks. The main aspheric lens provides a 2.5x working magnification with reduced edge distortion, while the integrated 7x spot lens targets small details. The unit is battery powered, accepts two AAA batteries, and is housed in a compact black casing measuring approximately 116.8 × 246.4 × 25.4 mm.

Advantages

The aspheric acrylic lens design increases image clarity across the field of view and minimizes edge distortion compared with simple spherical lenses. Three ultra-bright COB LEDs with diffusive cover lenses provide uniform, shadow-minimized illumination and improved power efficiency. A multi-position switch offers two brightness settings for adaptable lighting in different environments. The separate 7x spot lens enables higher magnification for very small details while the larger 2.5x lens is better for general reading and inspection.

Suitable for

• Reading small print and labels
• Stamp, coin and collectible inspection
• Electronics inspection and component work
• Hobbies and crafts requiring fine detail
• Low-light close-up tasks

How to use

Install two fresh AAA batteries into the battery compartment following the polarity markings. Use the multi-position switch to select the desired brightness level or to turn the lights off. Hold the magnifier at a comfortable distance from the object and move it until the image is sharp; use the larger 2.5x aspheric lens for general viewing and the 7x spot lens for examining very small details. The diffused COB LEDs can be used to improve visibility in low-light conditions or to provide even illumination for inspection tasks.

Usage recommendations

For best results, replace batteries as soon as brightness noticeably decreases and clean the acrylic lens with a soft microfiber cloth to avoid scratches. When inspecting intricate items, stabilize the object or use a stand to reduce hand movement and improve focus accuracy.
