    Loupes

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Magnifiers. Loupes.
    Magnify small details on workpieces. First designed for jewelers, these loupes work well for quality control and inspections.
    Plastic Lens—Loupes with a plastic lens are more lightweight and shatterproof than those with a glass lens.
    Glass Lens—Loupes with a glass lens are less prone to scratches than those with a plastic lens, so they provide a clearer view over time.
    Vent—Loupes with a vent prevent condensation from building up and obstructing your view. They won’t fog up even after prolonged use.

    Illuminated Eyeglass-Mount Frame Loupe Magnifiers

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Magnifiers. Illuminated Eyeglass-Mount Frame Loupe Magnifiers.
    A built-in LED on these wearable magnifiers shines a bright, even light so you don’t miss any scratches, dents, or nicks. They rest comfortably on your face so you can inspect objects up close without hunching over a handheld or bench-mount magnifier. First designed for jewelers, these magnifiers also work well for quality control and inspection. Swap out six included lens sets to switch between magnification levels ranging from 6X to 25X. The lenses are made of plastic, which are more lightweight and shatter resistant than glass lenses. The loupes flip up, so you don’t need to take them off completely between uses.

    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.

    Designed to fit over prescription and safety glasses, these magnifiers help you read fine print and inspect parts.
    A 2.5X magnifier serves as a bifocal. Also known as a loupe, it attaches to either side of your headband-mount magnifier.
    Acrylic Plastic Lens—Magnifiers with an acrylic lens are lighter in weight than those with glass, and the lens won’t shatter if they’re dropped.
    Glass Lens—A glass lens is clearer than acrylic and harder to scratch.
    2 Lenses—Magnifiers with two lenses let you switch between two levels of magnification. The second lens flips down over the first to bring an object into sharper focus.

    Distortion-Free Illuminated Slide-Open Magnifying Glasses

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Magnifiers. Distortion-Free Illuminated Slide-Open Magnifying Glasses.
    About the size of a credit card, these magnifiers have a lens that slides out of the case to inspect items and equipment on the go. When you slide them open, a bright, even LED light automatically turns on to make it easier to see details. The light will last twice as long as other LEDs. Unlike traditional magnifying glasses, the lens on these magnifying glasses is made with a curvature that corrects for distortion near the edge, giving you a crisp, clear view across the entire lens. This is helpful when checking the shape and size of an item. The lens is glass, so it's clearer and more durable than a plastic lens. The case functions as a handle when in use.
