摘要

An optical magnifying glass (1), i.e., an optical assistant for inspecting documents, comprises a lens body (2) with a connected light source of at least two LEDs (7) which are diagonally opposite on the lower periphery (4) of the lens body. The rays brighten the observing field in a stripewise fashion.
