    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.
    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.

    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.
    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.

    Bench-Mount Workstation Magnifiers with Measuring Scale

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Magnifiers. Bench-Mount Workstation Magnifiers with Measuring Scale.
    Magnify and measure in one operation. The lens is mounted into a stand to keep it at the optimal distance for focused, hands-free magnification. Use both hands to inspect objects, repair parts, or record your findings. Also known as linen testers, these magnifiers are often used for quality control and thread counting in fabric inspection. Fold the magnifier so it's easier to move around.
    Acrylic Plastic Lens—Acrylic lenses are more shatterproof and lighter in weight than glass lenses.
    Glass Lens—Glass lenses are less prone to scratches for a clearer view than plastic lenses.

    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.
