Commonly known as a “linen tester”?a loupe used to inspect woven fabrics?this form was originally developed for counting threads in textile weaves. Today, it has become a trusted standard tool used by professionals in printing, quality control, appraisal, and other fields.
The DS20 is the smallest model in the Linen Tester series of loupes, inheriting this refined, time-proven design. Rather than being held in the hand, it is placed directly on the subject for viewing. Its exceptional stability provides reliable support for precise measurement and observation.
The loupe is designed to focus simply by unfolding it and placing it on the subject. Because it is completely unaffected by hand shake, it reduces eye strain even during extended inspections or precise observations. In addition, both hands remain free, allowing you to manipulate the object or use writing instruments while viewing.
Measurable Loupe: The base is engraved with a high-precision 1 mm scale, allowing you to instantly measure the size of a magnified object or count dots (halftone screens or weave patterns) within a defined area.
