Magnifying Cone-Socket

Description

Magnifying Cone-Socket

The magnifying cone socket holds a lens or cone in place on an examination instrument. Two figures and two opening sizes let you match the socket to your equipment.

Sizes and figures

We offer figure 4 and figure 5. Openings measure 22 mm or 24 mm. Therefore, you can match the socket to the lens you already have.

Why the socket matters

A loose lens can tilt and blur the view. A well-fitted socket holds it square. As a result, the image stays sharp.

Typical use

Examination rooms use magnifying cones and sockets to view the skin, ear or other surfaces closely. For example, the socket keeps a lens steady over a small area. It also suits teaching labs.

Checking the fit of a magnifying cone socket

Measure your lens before ordering. Then compare it with the 22 mm and 24 mm options. If you are unsure, our team can help you choose.

Handling

Insert the lens gently and turn it until it seats. Next, check that it does not rock. Also, avoid touching the glass with bare fingers.

Spares

Sockets are small and easy to misplace. Also, a spare keeps your set working. In addition, you can clean one while the other stays in use.
