CABINET MAGNIFYING GLASS
Cabinet magnifying glass. The concept of magnifying glass comes from the French word loupe. The term refers to a magnifying lens that usually has a handle to facilitate its handling.
This optical instrument has a convergent lens that, by deflecting the light, produces a virtual image that magnifies the observed object. The magnifying glass, therefore, is used to virtually increase the size of an object that is too small for our vision.
The first works we have news of date back to the 10th century. Its author was the Muslim physicist Alhazen, who carried out numerous works with lenses and mirrors, later becoming considered the father of optics.
It is also known that in 11th century China some of its inhabitants already used lenses to correct defective vision. The Englishman Robert Bacon is known for being the first Westerner to use lenses to improve vision.
The magnifying glass we are presenting is a reproduction of those used in the 19th century in the offices of scientists and naturalists. It is fully functional and is a beautiful object that can decorate any bookcase or office.
The instrument is accompanied by a brief brochure with the history and description of the magnifying glass.
