RUBY HD electronic magnifier

The RUBY HD portable electronic magnifier is a useful tool for people with low vision. Optelec offers several options for magnification and contrast display, making reading and viewing photos and documents easier. A mobile magnifier is a portable device compared to a normal magnifier. It is also often used when people do not have space for an electronic magnifier at home.

Adjustable contrasts and colours allow individual settings. Built-in lighting helps in low-light situations.
Operation is simple and user-friendly and offers additional functions, such as image capture and image freezing. Daily tasks can become easier with this.
