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.

Magnifiers with a steel arm are more durable and less likely to dent than those with an aluminum arm. Magnifiers with an aluminum arm are lighter in weight than those with a steel arm.

Magnifiers with an enclosed spring block debris from getting stuck and hindering arm movement. Magnifiers with an open spring are lightweight and have knobs at the top of the arm to precisely adjust the position of the lens. The springs are easy to clean but require more maintenance because dust and debris can get stuck in them.

Magnifiers with a pivoting head let you adjust the lens up and down independently of the arm. Magnifiers that have heads with 360° rotation let you adjust the lens in all directions for precise angling.

Magnifiers with a neutral light appearance look less blue than those with a cool or daylight light appearance, causing less strain on your eyes over longer periods of use. Magnifiers with a 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.

Magnifiers with an ESD-safe (electrostatic discharge) coating dissipate static electricity, so they won’t pass along harmful charges if they touch sensitive components.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Magnifiers that cannot be sold to the listed areas are restricted by local regulatory limits on mercury content.

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.

Bend the flexible neck to any position and it will stay in place. These magnifiers are faster and easier to position than magnifiers with a pivoting arm. They clamp onto the edge of a workbench, leaving ample room to inspect large objects. A bright LED light emits an even, focused beam that's ideal for examining fine details on objects. They have a plastic lens that is lighter in weight than a glass lens, and it won’t shatter.

Precisely measure while magnifying, these adjustable-focus microscopes have an internal scale. There is a penlight mounted on the base to enhance your view.

Don’t strain your eyes and neck bending over your microscope—these microscopes display a magnified image on a computer screen and take high-resolution photos. Just connect the microscope to your PC with a USB cable (not included). Because you can view on a screen, multiple people can see what’s under the microscope at the same time. They include the traditional 10X magnifying eyepiece and a 6-megapixel camera that zooms in to a variety of magnifications.

With hands-free viewing, you’re able to inspect details, record observations, and modify the object you’re observing. Use the included software to measure lines, circles, and angles of the item you’re viewing—the software stores your measurements too. A built-in LED ring light creates ultra-bright, shadow-free light, so you don't need an external light source. The light can also be adjusted to reduce glare on reflective objects.

Illuminate your sample from above, below, or both—these microscopes have an upper and lower light that you can turn on together or separately. They’re safe to use where electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a concern.

Use with both objective lenses and eyepieces to increase magnification up to 225X.

Microscope illuminators give 360° of additional shadow-free light.

Reposition these microscopes without moving the base. The head rotates 360°. They’re safe to use where electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a concern.

Inspect the finest of details with the smallest of microscopes. While slim and less than six inches long, these microscopes have maximum magnification levels of 200X and above. Connect them to a computer with a USB cord to watch live footage and record photos and videos with the included software. All have a built-in light for clear, shadow-free inspections.

Microscopes that are both handheld and benchtop capable are versatile. When hand-held, you can move them around freely and point them at objects too fragile or heavy to move. When used on a benchtop with the included stand, you can capture clear images at high magnifications.

900X magnification microscopes reveal details as minuscule as those on hairs, fibers, and crystals. They should only be used on the included stand.

Microscopes with a dimmer adjust the brightness of the light and reduce the glare on reflective surfaces.

Microscopes with a measurement function determine the size of lines, circles, and angles and store the data on your computer.

By projecting a magnified shadow or image of your part onto a screen, these optical comparators give you an easy way to measure and inspect its precise features. They work similarly to overhead projectors, but with fixed magnification to preserve proportions. Because of how easy they are to set up and use, they’re a staple in most machine shops. They shine light from above, so they’re best for inspecting flat parts, such as gaskets and O-rings. Unlike traditional optical comparators, these comparators are compact to fit easily on a benchtop.

To use these comparators, choose profile or surface lighting. Profile lighting creates a shadow of your part, which you can use to plot points for precise measurements. To plot each point, move the stage the part rests on until the point lines up with the crosshair on the projector screen. For precision, the stage moves in increments thinner than a sheet of paper. Surface lighting makes these comparators work like an illuminated magnifier, blanketing the part with even light to reveal scratches, dents, and other surface flaws.

Save the measurements you’ve gathered for later by exporting the data as a text file using an RS-232 cord (not included).

Optical comparators with edge detection increase accuracy and efficiency by reducing human error. No need to identify each edge yourself with the crosshair—these comparators register whether they are passing over your object's shadow or a gap, such as a hole or cutout. The graphic display screen shows a visual representation of the part you’re measuring, making it easy to identify and measure specific features. To make sure each part is inspected the same way, create a program that guides anyone using the comparator on what steps to follow.

Holders, swivel center supports, and V-blocks securely hold your part as you measure. V-blocks hold round parts.

If you need to inspect your part from different angles, use either a swivel center support or a rotary table. Swivel center supports turn around a horizontal axis, moving your part in a circle like a Ferris wheel. Rotary tables spin around a vertical axis, rotating your part just like a carousel.

Scales and charts are clear, so you can lay them on top of your comparator’s projector screen. Scales give you a way to check your comparator’s magnification and length measurements. Charts are for checking angle measurements.

Filters are blue to increase contrast and reduce glare on your comparator’s projector screen.
