Hastings Triplet Loupe by Bausch & Lomb
Three separate lenses are bonded together to form a compound Hastings Triplet Loupe lens which virtually eliminates distortion at the outer edges of the magnifier. The compound lens is housed in a black plastic frame which is designed not to reflect light onto the object being viewed. The case is nickel plated and serves both as a handle and as a dust protector. This is the quintessential jewelers loupe.

Hastings Triplet Loupe Magnifier by Bausch & Lomb features a compound lens engineered to magnify images with accurate color, in sharp focus over the entire field of view.
The Bausch & Lomb 10X Hastings Triplet Loupe is the magnifier of choice for grading diamonds and other gems. The reasons is because it is highly color corrected to eliminate color fringes above/below or to the left/right of a high contrast object, like a gemstone. In the jewelry trade, it is accepted that a diamond is considered flawless if imperfections cannot be seen at 10X magnification with a triplet loupe.
