Sourcing powerful magnifying glass

It is much more powerful than the average ones that you can easily get,
and I have used it ever since.

I now want another similar one, but looking online doesn't seem to bring
up anything.

Any pointers will be much appreciated.


They used to be used for looking for small abnormalities on X-ray
flims. Unfortunately nowadays X-rays are almost 100% digital. Probably
also for other inspection tasks.

This is an example of what used to be available for USD 53. ;-)

Note magnification (used to be) 4x.

If 5" dia with mag. 2.5 will do (Like Sherlock Holmes) send me an
email.
