AV1 Ambient Hand Viewer

AV1 Ambient Hand Viewer

The AV1 ambient hand viewer offers a compact, portable solution for viewing microfiche and aperture cards without the need for mains electricity. The viewer uses natural or available light, simply requiring the user to aim the eyepiece at any light source, such as a window or ceiling light, to easily read the microfiche or card. This viewer combines high-quality optics with a functional and durable design, fitting conveniently into a pocket for on-the-go use. It ensures clear, sharp images and is built for long-lasting performance. The AV1 is available with either a 15X or 20X lens, catering to different microfiche reductions. The 15X lens is ideal for 24 reductions fiche or jackets, while the 20X lens is better suited for larger reductions, such as COM fiche or 40X technical publications. A model with an integrated light source is also available for use under all conditions.
