Pocket magnification tool

The Carson PO-55 is a compact 5x slide-out magnifier designed for anyone who needs to read fine print on the go. It suits hobbyists, professionals and older users who want a lightweight aid for maps, menus or small components. The protective sleeve keeps the lens safe when carried in a pocket or bag.

Slide-out lens with LED illumination

The lens extends from its sleeve and is lit by a built-in LED so it works in dim conditions without extra room light. It runs on three AAA batteries that are not supplied, so users must provide their own power source. When folded the unit becomes a slim rectangle that fits easily in a shirt pocket or tool pouch.

5x optical power for close-up detail

The fixed 5x magnification gives a clear, distortion-free view of text and small objects at close range. It handles everyday reading tasks and basic inspection work comfortably. It will not serve users who need variable zoom, higher power or hands-free viewing for extended periods.

Questions about this item

How long will the three AAA batteries keep the LED bright during continuous use?

Battery life varies with the brand and age of the AAA cells you install, so no single run-time figure applies.

Does the LED or the lens housing get warm after hours of reading?

The LED runs cool and the plastic sleeve stays at room temperature even during extended sessions.

Which three AAA batteries fit the compartment without modification?

Any standard alkaline or rechargeable AAA cells work; the holder accepts the common cylindrical size.
