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 Magnifying Glasses with Measuring Scale

Magnify and measure in one operation.
5X and 10X glass-lens magnifying glasses have an eyepiece with scales on two sides; both scales are graduated by 1/32" and 0.5 mm.

Distortion-Free Illuminated Magnifying Glasses

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.

Distortion-Free Magnifying Glasses

View a clear image from edge to edge—these magnifying glasses are made with a curvature that corrects for distortion, giving you a crisp, clear view. The image produced isn’t warped, so you can check objects for proper shape and size. 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.

Slide-Open Magnifying Glasses


Slide these magnifying glasses into their protective, compact case; slide them out, and the case becomes a handle.
Plastic lenses are lighter in weight and more shatter resistant than glass lenses. Glass lenses have a clearer view than plastic lenses, since they’re less likely to develop scratches.
Magnifying glasses with two or three lenses have greater magnification than those with one lens. Stack multiple lenses on top of each other to increase their magnification. Those with three lenses have seven stacking combinations.
Loupes

Magnify small details on workpieces. First designed for jewelers, these loupes work well for quality control and inspections.
Loupes with a glass lens are less prone to scratches than those with a plastic lens, so they provide a clearer view over time.

Benchtop 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 lenses are more shatterproof and lighter in weight than glass lenses.
Glass lenses are less prone to scratches for a clearer view than plastic lenses.
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 a pivoting head let you adjust the lens up and down independently of the arm. 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.
Magnifiers with a dimmer have adjustable brightness to reduce glare on reflective surfaces.
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.
