Autofocus magnifiers

We offer a choice of two optical quality Auto Focus magnifiers: the autofocus ruler magnifier shown below and the autofocus dome magnifier

These magnifiers do not need hand held operation as they focus automatically when laid on the surface.

The autofocus ruler magnifier

The autofocus ruler provides a magnification of twice actual size. This autofocus ruler magnifier draws in natural light to brighten your image and provide easier viewing.

Like the autofocus Brightfield dome magnifier, the autofocus transcribing ruler magnifier sits on your document, enhancing and magnifying one line of text at once.

The ruler has a thin red guide line inside the autofocus magnifier, and clear graduations on the ruler edges. Ideal for transcribers of census returns, parish registers or other family history documents.
