→USB microscopes: Added several kinds of inexpensive magnification devices.
===Magnification devices===
==== Eye Loupe ====A simple 7x eye loupe is a small, useful tool for examining small parts. There are single monocular loupes, or for a bit higher cost, head-mounted eyeglass style stereoscopic loupes which may or may not feature replaceable optics. ==== Headband magnifier ====There are many kinds of head-mounted stereoscopic or single-element magnifying devices available. Some are equipped with LED lights, which is handy but not strictly necessary. The picture below shows one that was purchased from a discount tool store for less than US$10.[[File:Headband magnifier.jpg|none|thumb|headband magnifier]]<br />==== USB microscopes ====Feed meee!A microscope is handy for examining small parts or PCB traces. There are many inexpensive ones available. A stand is very useful as well for both precise positioning and to keep the camera steady.[[File:USB microscope with stand.jpg|none|thumb|USB microscope with stand]]
