Product description

When mapping the epiphytic lichens, the idea of a light-outfitted magnifying glass was born. The combination of lichenology and engineer enabled the development of a prototype, which was further developed and is now produced in series. Lichen Candelaris is used by biologists and Research Institutes around the world and has proved its loyalty under the most extreme outdoor conditions.

Enlargement & depth of focus

Due to optical principles, the field of view and the depth of focus decrease with rising magnification. For the application in Botany/Bryology/Geology/Lichenology/Mycology x10 or x14 are optimal.

	Optic diameter	Field of view	Distance optics - object	Remarks
x10	19 mm	≈ 13 mm	ca. 20 mm	Completely water and dust-proof glued
x14	19 mm	≈ 10 mm	ca. 15 mm	Space between the lenses: air, 99% waterproof

Light temperature & color reproduction

The color temperature (unit of measurement: Kelvin ° K) is a measure of the color impression of a light
source. In the case of the illuminated magnifying glass, the color reproduction depends on natural ambient light and / or on the emitted color spectrum
of the LED light source. Lichen candelaris® is equipped with neutral white light (≈ 5500 ° K), which results in a natural color rendering.
