The SPYX Micro Periscope model 20339 by SPYX is a compact optical device for indirect observation. Its small form factor allows users to view around obstacles or from covered positions where direct line-of-sight is impractical. The periscope is lightweight and portable, suited to short-range inspection, simple surveillance tasks, classroom demonstrations, and hobbyist projects that require discreet or offset viewing.
Advantages
This micro periscope provides a straightforward optical path for redirected viewing without electronic components. Its compact size and low weight make it easy to position and carry. The device requires minimal setup and maintenance, delivers stable, upright images for basic observation, and operates silently. Designed for practical use, it fits into small kits or toolboxes and can be used repeatedly in varied environments.

- Inspection of tight or obscured spaces
- Low-profile surveillance where discretion is needed
- Educational demonstrations in optics and physics
- Hobbyist projects and DIY applications
Key specifications
- Compact handheld periscope design optimized for short-range viewing
- Lightweight construction for easy portability
- Rigid body suitable for steady positioning
- Optical prisms/mirrors arranged to provide an upright image for indirect observation

How to use
Position the SPYX Micro Periscope so one opening faces the scene you want to observe and the opposite opening faces your eye. Hold or mount the device steadily to maintain the desired viewing angle; minimal movement helps preserve image stability. Use it to view over, around, or behind obstacles while keeping your observation point concealed or protected. After use, store the periscope in a dry place to avoid contamination of the optical surfaces.
Usage recommendations
For best results, keep the optical surfaces clean and free of fingerprints or dust; use a soft microfiber cloth for cleaning. Avoid exposing the periscope to strong impacts or prolonged moisture. When demonstrating in a classroom or workshop, allow observers to take turns and adjust positioning gradually to prevent accidental contact with the optics.
