    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.

    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.
    360° Rotating Head—Magnifiers with a 360° rotating head let you adjust the lens in all directions for precise angling.
    Cool Light and 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.

    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.

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.

    Sharp-View Illuminated Weighted-Base Workstation Magnifiers

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Magnifiers. Sharp-View Illuminated Weighted-Base Workstation Magnifiers.
    Make fine details and defects on textured surfaces visible. These magnifiers cast light from an angle instead of above like standard illuminated magnifiers. This creates shadows that highlight irregularities, such as a contaminant embedded in a sheet of raw material. The light is a bright LED that mimics natural daylight for a crisp, clear view. To prevent scratches that could block your view, these magnifiers have a glass lens instead of plastic.
    With a weighted base, you can easily move these magnifiers around. 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.

    Vibration-Resistant Illuminated Clamp-On Workstation Magnifiers

    Image of Product. Bottom orientation. Magnifiers. Vibration-Resistant Illuminated Clamp-On Workstation Magnifiers.
    For a steady view of fine details even near vibrating machinery, lock each joint on the arm. These magnifiers give you the 360° adjustability of a pivoting arm but with added resistance to vibration. With a ring of LEDs, they illuminate your part evenly, with no shadows. The lens is glass instead of plastic to prevent scratches that could block your view. If you’re examining sensitive components, these magnifiers have an ESD (electrostatic discharge) safe coating that dissipates static electricity, so they won’t pass along harmful charges if they bump against your workpiece.
    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.
    Add-on lenses mount over the existing lens to increase magnification. Add the magnification of the add-on lens with the existing lens to get the total magnification.
