caption_attribution_description: English: BelOMO LP-3-10× achromatic triplet (jewellers') loupe. This loupe is made in Belarus and finished with black non reflecting surfaces and the lenses are fully multi-coated. A true triplet loupe has an optical system consisting of three compounded optical elements or lenses of different refractive indexes designed for optimal image quality. The Triplet lens-system is made up of two identical concave high index (flint glass) meniscus elements cemented to a double convex low index (crown glass) element and combines the aplanatic features of a distortion free sharp image with the color correction of an achromatic lens. A magnification of 10× is required and hence used by professionals for the examination and grading of precious gems and minerals. Magnification ratio: 10 times Optical schema:	Achromatic Triplet Focal distance:	28 mm (1.1 inch) Linear field of view: 17 mm (0.67 inch) Overall dimensions: 36 x 28 x 25 mm (1.54 x 1.1 x 0.98 inch) Weight: 63 g (2.22 ounce)
context_page_description: BelOMO or Belorusskoe Optiko-Mechanichesckoye Obyedinenie was founded in Minsk in 1971 in Byelorussian SSR, Soviet Union, now Belarus. The main factory is the Minskiy Mechanichesckiy Zavod imeni S.I. Vavilova, opened in Minsk 1957 and named after the Soviet physicist Sergey Ivanovich Vavilov.
  At first, BelOMO made photographic equipment and lens-making machinery for state use. It now manufactures a wide range of products, including military and consumer optical products. During the 1980s it produced the Agat-18 and Agat-18K half-frame 35mm cameras, still popular among Lomographic photographers.
  A joint venture with German optics maker Zeiss was begun in 1995. The firm produces lenses and optical elements for microscopes and other optical equipment with ISO 9001 certification.
  MMZ—BelOMO factory estimates its global market share in optical sights, rangefinders and NVDs at 2-3%, with 10% of Russian market and 80% of local market. The factory also produces gas meters, car units, infra-red emitters, juicers and other civil products.
