    Headband-Mount Flip-Up Magnifiers

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Magnifiers. Headband-Mount Flip-Up Magnifiers.
    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.

    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.
    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.
    LED Bulb—Round Lens
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Round Lens. Illuminated Clamp-On Workstation Magnifiers, LED Bulb, Enclosed Spring.

    Enclosed Spring

    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.
    Enclosed Spring—Magnifiers with an enclosed spring block debris from getting stuck and hindering arm movement.
    Pivoting Head—Magnifiers with a pivoting head let you adjust the lens up and down independently of the arm.
    Daylight Light—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.
    Neutral Light—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.
    Dimmer—Magnifiers with a dimmer have adjustable brightness to reduce glare on reflective surfaces.
    ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) Safe—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.

    Enhance details while protecting your eyes from dust and debris. Magnifying power is measured in diopters—each diopter increases the size of the object in view by 25%.
    Full Lens Magnifier—Glasses with full lens magnifiers give you a magnified view across the entire lens instead of part of the lens.
    Padded Nosepiece—Glasses with a padded nosepiece provide added comfort.

    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.
    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.

    UV and White Light Clamp-On Workstation Magnifiers

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Magnifiers. 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

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Magnifiers. 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.
