Which (hand-held) Loupe is best? - 18 photos

The 'hand-held' loupe seen in this blog has many advantages, (with very few disadvantages).

 These comments are my own, and not from any tool supplier. I shared these photos with you from a few tool suppliers, but for privacy, I think it's best not to use their names in this blog.

=============================================

The "Triplet" lens IS THE BEST TO BUY, why? It actually has 3 lenses in the compartment and there is no aberration, or defects in the viewing. The 10x power is best under normal viewing, but I prefer a wider scope as what you see here is of limited viewing.

 This is another inside lighting system that has an 'off & on' switch, great idea!

 If, and when you are in the market for an 'L.E.D.' loupe, get it you will thank yourself, as this is the new loupe series that is on the market. There is a little powered lighting system inside for easier viewing. 

  

 These 'stick it in your eye' loupes are hard to keep against your eye socket. Plus the magnification is rather poor at 5x power. Think twice, if you need these.

  For short-time viewing, these are easy to hold and fold away. But, the viewing scope is too small for long-term viewing. (Just my thoughts).

 I'd use this loup for gemstone examination, 30x power is extreme, but it's very useful with gemstone and diamond dealers.

This  'multi-lens in one' is a good idea, actually, you now have two lenses in one compartment.

This loup is good but the viewing-scope has a 'very limited' viewing. When you are in the market always pick one up and examine each for your viewing needs.

This is the first loup I've seen, with its own carrying case. Wonderful idea!!!

 I have a similar Digital Microscope in my 'setting bench' for the past 5+ years. As for me, I can retrieve the photos from an attached internal USB module and put them into my computer for my 'blog writing'. In fact, the images can be downloaded to your large monitor for your clients to share.

"Bausch & Lomb" is a great brand name in optical lenses, 10 power lens is adequate for the average user.

 The inside 'LED' lighting system is a great idea in subdued office lighting or bench work this is a fantastic idea.
