Combining precise observation and measurement in a single device, the DS20 is a trusted standard tool chosen by professionals in the field.
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.
