Comments
This was one of many samples that manufacturers send me and, as usual, I opened it without having any expectations, they are usually sweet little toys suitable for children (e.g. 'bug magnifiers'). I was in for a surprise.
THIS one is quite spectacular in quality! it is from the same company that make the high quality jeweller's Loupes, and they've used a 'triplet' lens to get the best quality. This is by far the best general inspection magnifier for photographs, prints, fabrics, stamps, coins, pcbs (anything flat).
