Seeing the Smaller Picture: Magnifiers Shoot-Out

This review covers:
Coil 8277 ATmax
Coilcraft Freebie
Edmund Optics 35359 10x Magnifier
BelOMO 10x Triplet
Donegan OptiVISOR DA-4 2x Head Mount Magnifier
Carson MG-88 MagniGrip 4.5x Magnifier with Tweezers
Carson CrystalView 2.5x Aspheric Magnifier with 5x Spot Lens
Carson Lume Series COB LED 2.5x Aspheric Magnifier with 7x Spot Lens
In summary, the best magnifiers here were the Donegan OptiVISOR, and the Carson CrystalView and Carson Lume Series. Also, in the past I've found UltraOptix 7x Aspheric 1.5 inch LED Lighted Magnifier
to be very good too.
