I didn't intend to make a commercial for Peak Optics, but these are the ones I use the most.

The stand loops are 7x, 10x, 15x, 20x, & 30x. They all measuring reticles. The hand magnifying glasses are achromatic doublets at 1.3x, 2x, and 5x -- the large one is 75mm in diameter.

Has anyone ever used a Proscope Micro Mobile that attaches to your phone to view stamps. I saw this device on Pawn Stars where it was used to get a close up look at autographs. I thought it would be ideal to use at stamp shows. What do you think?

Pros/Cons?

This is the one I just got.

Replaced the lighted handheld I had forever that finally fell apart.

For general looking. For closeup I like the USB microscope.

I like the large field of view, 3 color modes, and it's made of glass not plastic.

And the promotion of 'Senior Reading"

Regarding Headband Magnifier Glasses, like with white light and UV, are they useful and comfortable compared with handheld Magnifier Glasses?
