Illuminated Stand Magnifiers

Hands-free like a benchtop magnifier and portable like a handheld magnifier, these are small enough to take with you and you don’t have to hold them. There’s a gap in the base where you slide objects under the lens. There’s enough room to precisely adjust an object’s position. A bright LED illuminates objects evenly, so you can easily spot details. Adjust the brightness using the dimmer to reduce glare on reflective surfaces. With two lenses made of hard-coated plastic, they hold up to wear and minimize scratches to keep the view crystal clear. The plastic lens is shatterproof and lighter in weight than a glass lens.

Distortion-Free Illuminated Magnifying Glasses

View a clear image from edge to edge, even in dimly lit areas. These magnifying glasses have a curvature that corrects for distortion, so you can check objects for proper shape and size. Their built-in LED light emits a focused, even beam, making it easier to see details. You can turn the light on to illuminate parts and off to reduce glare on reflective surfaces. Take them with you to inspect equipment that’s running or to spot fine details on parts. Made of plastic, they’re shatterproof and lighter in weight than glass lenses.

Distortion-Free Magnifying Glasses


View a clear image from edge to edge—these magnifying glasses are made with a curvature that corrects for distortion, giving you a crisp, clear view. The image produced isn’t warped, so you can check objects for proper shape and size. Take them with you to inspect equipment that’s running or to spot fine details on parts. Made of plastic, they’re shatterproof and lighter in weight than glass lenses.

Distortion-Free Stand Magnifiers

Crisp from edge to edge, the lens on these magnifiers is specially curved to prevent the distortion you see around the rim on a typical magnifying lens. They combine the hands-free ease of benchtop magnifiers with the portability of a handheld magnifier. Use the gap at the base to slide your object underneath and make precise adjustments. The body underneath the lens is clear, letting the maximum amount of light in for clear, bright viewing. The lens is plastic, so it’s shatterproof and lighter in weight than a glass lens.
Distortion-Free Slide-Open Magnifying Glasses

Also known as Hastings Triplet magnifiers, these have three glass lenses bonded together for sharp, distortion-free images. Since the lenses are glass, they are less prone to scratches and give you a clearer view than plastic lenses. Slide the magnifier to open and close. A metal case protects the lenses when in storage and serves as a handle when in use. Since they’re handheld, they work well to inspect equipment and parts on the go.
Illuminated Clamp-On Workstation Magnifiers
More securely mounted than weighted-base magnifiers while taking up less space on your work surface, these illuminated magnifiers clamp to the side of a workbench. They shine bright light onto workpieces, so you can get a clear view into nooks and crevices. The sturdy pivoting arm holds its position more rigidly than gooseneck arms.
Magnifiers with LED light shine down from all angles, creating even lighting for shadow-free inspections. LED lights last more than five times longer than fluorescent lights.
Magnifiers with an enclosed spring block debris from getting stuck and hindering arm movement. Magnifiers with an open spring are lightweight and have knobs at the top of the arm to precisely adjust the position of the lens. The springs are easy to clean but require more maintenance because dust and debris can get stuck in them.
Magnifiers with a pivoting head let you adjust the lens up and down independently of the arm. Magnifiers with a 360° rotating head let you adjust the lens in all directions for precise angling.
Magnifiers with a neutral light appearance look less blue than those with cool or daylight lighting, causing less strain on your eyes over longer periods of use. Magnifiers with a cool or daylight light appearance produce a crisp and clean light ideal for inspection. They’re brighter than those with a neutral light appearance and highlight white and blue tones.
Magnifiers with a dimmer have adjustable brightness to reduce glare on reflective surfaces.
ESD (electrostatic discharge) safe magnifiers won’t pass along harmful charges if they come in contact with sensitive components thanks to a coating that dissipates static electricity.
Add-on lenses mount over the existing lens to increase magnification. To calculate overall magnification, add the magnification strength of the add-on lens with the strength of the existing lens.

UV and White Light Clamp-On Workstation Magnifiers

Switch between UV light and white light to catch defects you'd otherwise miss. The UV LEDs on these magnifiers illuminate fluorescent dyes, particles, and chemicals, making leaks, cracks, and tears easy to spot. The white light LEDs mimic natural daylight for a crisp, clear view of fine details. Both types of light are arranged in a ring, giving you even lighting with no shadows. Adjust the brightness with the dimmer to reduce glare on reflective surfaces. Made of glass, the lens gives you a clearer view than a plastic lens and is less likely to scratch. These magnifiers have an ESD (electrostatic discharge) safe coating that dissipates static electricity, so they won’t pass along harmful charges if they come in contact with sensitive components.
These magnifiers clamp onto the edge of a workbench, so you’ll have space for large objects and both hands free for adjustments, repairs, and note-taking. They have a long arm that pivots 360° and stays steady even when there’s vibration. The spring that moves the arm is enclosed, which means it won’t get jammed from dirt or debris.

Illuminated Clamp-On Workstation Magnifiers with Built-In Camera

Capture the extra-fine details you see under the magnifying lens in a photo or video. These magnifiers allow you to inspect and document using a single device, saving valuable workstation space. To show live footage, use an HDMI cord (not included) to connect a monitor. You can store everything on the microSD card or transfer it directly to a computer with a USB cord (not included). With a ring of LEDs, these magnifiers illuminate your part evenly, with no shadows. Adjust the brightness with the dimmer to reduce glare on reflective surfaces. The lens is glass instead of plastic to prevent scratches that could block your view.

Illuminated Weighted-Base Workstation Magnifiers
Sturdy but flexible, these illuminated magnifiers have a weighted base to keep them still without tethering them to your workbench. A ring of LEDs creates even lighting for shadow-free inspections of electronics, soldered assemblies, and other parts full of nooks and crevices. Adjust the brightness with the dimmer to reduce glare on reflective surfaces. The sturdy pivoting arm holds its position more rigidly than gooseneck arms.
Magnifiers with a steel arm are more durable and less likely to dent than those with an aluminum arm. Magnifiers with an aluminum arm are lighter in weight than those with a steel arm.
Magnifiers with an enclosed spring block debris from getting stuck and hindering arm movement. Magnifiers with an open spring are lightweight and have knobs at the top of the arm to precisely adjust the position of the lens. The springs are easy to clean but require more maintenance because dust and debris can get stuck in them.
Magnifiers with a pivoting head let you adjust the lens up and down independently of the arm. Magnifiers that have heads with 360° rotation let you adjust the lens in all directions for precise angling.

Magnifiers with a daylight light appearance produce a crisp and clean light ideal for inspection. They’re brighter than those with a neutral light appearance and highlight white and blue tones.
Magnifiers with an ESD-safe (electrostatic discharge) coating dissipate static electricity, so they won’t pass along harmful charges if they touch sensitive components.
Use an add-on lens for greater magnification. To calculate overall magnification, add the magnification strength of the add-on lens with the strength of the existing lens.
