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.
Magnifying glasses with an LED shine a strong, bright beam that lasts about 20 times as long as incandescent bulbs.
Magnifying glasses with a plastic lens are lighter in weight than glass lenses, and they won’t shatter if you drop them. Magnifiers with a glass lens are manufactured without flaws or bubbles for the clearest view. They also resist scratches better than plastic lenses.
When you need to take a closer look, use snap-on lens magnifiers—a second lens snaps over the first to increase the magnification. Magnifying glasses with a bifocal lens or built-in second lens let you switch back and forth between magnification levels without changing lenses.
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 Stand Magnifiers
Hands-free like a benchtop magnifier and portable like a handheld magnifier, these are small enough to take with you and you don’t have to hold them. There’s a gap in the base where you slide objects under the lens. There’s enough room to precisely adjust an object’s position. A bright LED illuminates objects evenly, so you can easily spot details. Adjust the brightness using the dimmer to reduce glare on reflective surfaces. With two lenses made of hard-coated plastic, they hold up to wear and minimize scratches to keep the view crystal clear. The plastic lens is shatterproof and lighter in weight than a glass lens.

Distortion-Free Illuminated Slide-Open Magnifying Glasses
About the size of a credit card, these magnifiers have a lens that slides out of the case to inspect items and equipment on the go. When you slide them open, a bright, even LED light automatically turns on to make it easier to see details. The light will last twice as long as other LEDs. Unlike traditional magnifying glasses, the lens on these magnifying glasses is made with a curvature that corrects for distortion near the edge, giving you a crisp, clear view across the entire lens. This is helpful when checking the shape and size of an item. The lens is glass, so it's clearer and more durable than a plastic lens. The case functions as a handle when in use.

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.
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.

Enhanced-Visibility 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.
For technical drawings and 3-D models, click on a part number.
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.
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.
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.

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.

Compact Illuminated Microscopes
Take the powerful magnification of a standard microscope on the go—these microscopes fit in your pocket. To help you see fine details, they come with a bright LED light that illuminates the surface you’re inspecting.
Microscopes with an adjustable focus let you change their magnification, so you can use one tool for different jobs. The lower the magnification, the larger your field of view; the higher the magnification, the smaller the details you’ll be able to see.
Microscopes with a fixed focus have an internal scale on the eyepiece to precisely measure items up to 4 mm long.

Microscope Illuminators
Shine 360° of shadow-free light on objects under microscopes to make defects more visible during inspections. The even lighting these illuminators produce reduces glare and creates strong visual contrast between small components, such as parts on circuit boards.
LED illuminators use less energy, produce less heat, and last longer than fluorescent illuminators. Ultraviolet LED illuminators expose defects such as cracks and holes in parts when used with fluorescent dye or powder. They’re often used for leak detection and quality control testing.
ESD-safe illuminators have a coating that dissipates static electricity, preventing damage if they make contact with sensitive components during inspections.
