Magnifiers are inspection or assembly instruments that enlarge the image of a product or feature.  The level of magnification (generally less than 50X) differentiates magnifiers from their higher power cousins, microscopes.  Magnifiers are available in many configurations such as handheld, loupe, linen or folding, binocular, desktop, or headband styles. They are used in a wide variety of applications, including assembly, electronics manufacturing (PCBs), industrial inspection, precision machining, tool & die work, jewelry and gemology, medical and life sciences, textiles, vision or sight assistance, forensics, photography, and document analysis.
