1.1 This International Standard specifies the characteristics of the following types of low-power magnifiers and gives recommendations for their selection for the inspection of surfaces.
-
— Single-element magnifiers of magnification typically up to ×4 (Type A).
-
— Multi-element magnifiers of magnification typically up to ×10 (Type B).
-
— Twin-system magnifiers of magnification typically up to ×15 (Type C), categorized as follows:
-
a) binocular, normally with a long working distance (Type C.1);
-
b) bi-ocular1), including those refined with stops or other attachments, for quasi-stereoscopic vision (Type C.2).
-
-
— Concave-mirror magnifiers with front-surface reflectors in powers typically up to ×6 (Type D).
