Prospectors® Digital Hand Lens Camera

Portable Digital Magnifier for Professional Field Inspection with Photo Capture

The Prospectors Digital Hand Lens Camera is a compact field inspection tool designed for professionals who require clear magnified viewing and reliable still-image documentation in operational environments.

Combining traditional loupe-style magnification with integrated digital photography, it enables users to inspect fine surface detail and capture images directly in the field. Suitable for geological surveys, ecological fieldwork, archaeological assessment, forestry operations, emergency services applications and research environments.

Designed for Field Work

This portable digital magnifier is suited to situations where:

• Surface detail must be examined closely

• Observations need to be recorded photographically

• Equipment must be compact and transportable

• Work is conducted on-site or outdoors

Its lightweight form allows it to fit easily into field kits, survey packs and response bags.
