Dome Magnifiers 

Dome magnifiers are non-lighted magnifiers that provide moderate magnification with a wide field of view and minimal distortion. They are very effective as inconspicuous desktop magnifiers at school or work. They are designed to use the existing room lighting.  

  They are well accepted by students owing to their low profile on the desk. The magnified image stays near the plane of the desk so the person does not have to hold it close.
