    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.

    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.

    Illuminated Magnifying Glasses

    Spotlight fine details to find defects in parts or inspect dim machine interiors. You can turn the light on these magnifying glasses on and off as needed, such as when inspecting both reflective and non-reflective components on circuit boards.
    Round Lens
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Magnifiers. Illuminated Magnifying Glasses, Round Lens.
    LED—Magnifying glasses with an LED shine a strong, bright beam that lasts about 20 times as long as incandescent bulbs.
    Acrylic Plastic Lens—Magnifying glasses with an acrylic plastic lens are lighter in weight than glass lenses, and they won’t shatter if you drop them.
    Glass Lens—Magnifiers with a glass lens are manufactured without flaws or bubbles for the clearest view. They also resist scratches better than plastic lenses.
    Bifocal Lens and Built-In Second Lens—Magnifying glasses with a bifocal lens or built-in second lens let you switch back and forth between magnification levels without changing lenses.
    Folding Handle—For hands-free viewing, use magnifying glasses with a folding handle. After propping them up on a flat surface, you can hold and adjust the object in view with two hands.

    Sharp-View Illuminated Magnifying Glasses

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Magnifiers. Sharp-View Illuminated Magnifying Glasses.
    Get a clear, crisp view of details and defects—these magnifying glasses have a grooved lens, which is also known as a Coddington magnifier. The lens is made of glass, so it’s less likely to develop scratches that could block your view than a plastic lens. To help you see, press the button on these magnifying glasses to shine a bright LED light on the surface you’re inspecting. The light lasts over five times longer than fluorescent lights.

    Flashlight

    A mirror bounces light from a flashlight around your part, making defects pop against a dark background. Use them to spot surface flaws, scratches, and marks you would miss inspecting parts under direct light. Typically, this technology is only found in advanced microscopes, but these magnifiers are portable and battery powered. Use them for a variety of tasks—from checking raw materials to inspecting parts and equipment that are in use.

    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.

    UV and White Light Magnifying Glasses

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Magnifiers. UV and White Light Magnifying Glasses.
    Switch between UV light and white light to catch defects you'd otherwise miss with these handheld magnifiers. Their UV LEDs illuminate fluorescent dyes and particles, making leaks, cracks, and tears easy to spot. The white light LEDs mimic natural daylight for a crisp, clear view of fine details. For even lighting with no shadows, both types of light are arranged in a ring. Adjust the brightness with the dimmer to reduce glare on reflective surfaces. These magnifiers have an ESD (electrostatic discharge) safe coating that dissipates static electricity, so they won’t pass along harmful charges if they touch sensitive components.
