The physical casing for the loupe is plastic. It did come with a pleather pouch for the loupe. Mine works very well for what i do. I like to find and buy loose gemstones and this works great.

I am holding it my hands at this moment. It is in fact metal. It is some sort of aluminum. The only plastic is on the screw end that clamps to table. The jaws are a rubber compound that are removable. I've used this several times and does a really good job on light work. The ball socket makes it really nice to position things at different angles. Overall, works good.

The item is plastic. Been using it for over a year now to hold my Niterider Lumina 700. Works great.

Both of the ones I purchased are made of light weight tin in a copper color. the only thing that is plastic is the cover for the light. These are great when the electricity goes out.

Metal. Good little light. I've had mine out there for about three years no problems.

The scope housing is made from aluminum. It's a bit heavy because there is a glass prism inside allowing for better optics and a more compact design.

I don't know what it is made of. It looks and feels like metal but I think it might be a very hard plastic. Mine have had a lot of use, and they still look great. I love these and all my guest ask me where I got them so they can buy them. They look high class.

It is plastic. For the price I am happy. Even with a long lens the locks hold. It would not be suitable for a professional.

The actual lens? Or the material that holds the lens? Everything in this set is metal. Hard for me to tell if the lens is glass or plastic. But it works pretty well.... only really good for far away telephoto type stuff.

Plastic. The entire housing is made of the same stuff, aside from the inside reflector and the mount.

Negative, it is made of pretty strong plastic, mine however had uneven threads and had to be glued back together, twice, I replaced it with a nikon!!

Hi Katie: The scope is made of metal, has protective plastic caps for front and rear lenses. I think I paid about the same price for a simular scope about 15 years ago, which I accidendly bumped really hard and ruined it, I feel it's a great scope for the price and for my needs, I have it mounted on my 22 LR. Remminton Semi automatic rifle. with some slight lense adjustments it was ready to go. Joe.

The color of the cover that the loupe slides out of is silver, while the piece itself is white. It looks really nice.

I'm not qualified to answer that question because I don't know what you're looking for. I use it to identify tiny bugs on plants. But I do know most jeweler loupes are 20 to 40x magnification. You may not need such a strong magnification.
