Compact 5x Magnifier for On-the-Go Inspection

The Carson Optical MiniBrite PO-55 is a pocket-sized magnifier with a sliding case that activates a built-in LED when opened. It delivers 5x magnification through a 1.5" acrylic aspheric lens designed to reduce distortion. The gray protective sleeve allows it to slip into pockets or purses for reading, stamp collecting, coin inspection, and other detail work. Supplied as a 12 pack for teams, classrooms, or resale.

Slide-Activated LED Illumination

Opening the case automatically turns on the LED light for bright visibility, and closing it switches the light off to conserve power. The unit runs on three AAA alkaline batteries, which are not included in the package. This on-demand illumination makes the magnifier practical in low-light conditions without a separate switch to manage.

Battery-Powered Portability for Low-Vision Tasks

The magnifier requires only the three AAA cells to operate, freeing the user from cords or external power sources. Its compact 2 in x .6 in x 4.5 in form factor fits in a tool bag, glove compartment, or desk drawer. It is not suited for tasks needing hands-free magnification, higher power than 5x, or a rechargeable power system.

Questions about this item

What does the 5x magnification mean when I hold this magnifier over a page?

The 5x magnification makes text and fine details appear five times larger than they do to the naked eye, letting you read small print or examine stamps and coins with much less eye strain.

How does the LED light turn on and off, and what limits its use?

The built-in LED activates automatically when you slide the case open and shuts off when you close it, so the light only runs while you are actually using the magnifier.

What are the overall dimensions of each magnifier so I know if it fits my pocket?

Each unit measures 2 in x 0.6 in x 4.5 in, making it small enough to slip into a shirt pocket, purse, or small tool pouch.
