It brings the glass in close - a focal range of roughly 3 to 8 in (7.5 to 20 cm) - for checking coral polyp extension, spotting early signs of disease or pests, and close-up aquarium photography, without an algae scraper's magnet strength dragging across the glass at the wrong moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4 in optical-grade lens\u003c\/strong\u003e - a wide viewing portal with no centre obstruction, for a clear, magnified view rather than a keyhole.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorks through glass or acrylic up to 16 mm (5\/8 in)\u003c\/strong\u003e - the single most important spec on this product.
