The perfect description of this classic is: hybrid between traditional measuring magnifier and crack magnifier. Focussing is done via the optical system's sliding seat, as in crack magnifiers. An outstanding amount of light can enter the light window via the inclined position. The chrome graduation metallised on to the glass in a high vacuum should be particularly emphasised, as this offers a high degree of mechanical and chemical stability. The F & C measuring magnifier offers first-class definition via a high quality achromatic lens system. The measuring magnifier is supplied in a handy break-resistant plastic case.

Measurements are possible on both dark and light items via the special design of the rule. The covering of the lower part of the rule in the longitudinal direction makes it opaque and consequently visible even on dark objects. The graduation lines extended over the cover ideally become measuring heads that match the measuring jaws on the micrometer or calliper gauge. The SRW-8 version offers the following graduations, radii and angles: 0…15 mm, graduation 0.1 mm, measurement accuracy 0.05mm, with angles of 0…90° increasing by 5° intervals, radii 0.5…6.0 mm increasing by 0.5 mm intervals, circle diameter 0.1…1.0 mm.

Alternatively the F & C measuring magnifier can be supplied just for linear- or width measurement with an 0.1 mm graduation and 15 mm measuring length, which is supplemented by a 0.005" graduation with a measuring length of 0.6". Measurement accuracy is 0.05 mm or 0.0025". Naturally both scales can be used interchangeably in the same magnifier. If necessary simply order one of the two measuring magnifiers and order the second scale in addition as a spare part.
