Aven's New Wide-View UV Magnifier with White & Ultraviolet LEDs
January 31, 2023 | AvenEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Aven, a full-service technology provider, is pleased to introduce its Wide-View Magnifier [2.25x | 4x] with Ultraviolet and White LEDs. Convenient and easy-to-use, Aven’s Wide-View UV Magnifier features a 3.6 x 1.7” rectangular glass, providing a wide viewing area. The 5-diopter lens offers up to 2.25X magnification, and the 1” diameter spot lens increases the magnification to 4X.
Operating at 365 ?m, the UV LEDs are exceptionally bright when illuminating objects that fluoresce, such as paper, ink, circuit boards, money, etc. The 26 UV LEDs shine brightly to reveal fluoresced details that standard lights cannot show.
The Wide-View Magnifier is ideal for dermatology, trauma, schools, ophthalmology, forensic science, hospitality/food industry, agriculture, and industrial inspection for detecting defects. The ESD-safe design helps to dissipate static electric charges, protecting sensitive components below from unintentional damage.
As a result of years of comprehensive research and development, Aven has expanded its expertise in the realm of design and customized configuration of advanced video inspection systems. The company’s solution-based experts possess the ability to recommend and create complete optical systems according to customers’ needs and budgets.

DesignCon 2025: Looking Great at 30
01/30/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007DesignCon may be turning 30 this year, but the Silicon Valley staple doesn’t look a day over 25. Attendees turned out for this celebratory bash, many of them reminiscing about their first DesignCon event 20 or 30 years ago. The Tuesday night welcome reception was basically a 30th birthday bash, sponsored by Mouser. Show managers went all out, with strobe lights and a DJ blasting a mix of old and new dance tunes. That was fitting, because I spoke with engineers from ages 21 to 81 at DesignCon this year. Nice to see more younger folks each year.
