Thank you Grug that was clear and helpfull and I even impressed the man in the jewelers asking for a 10x loupe and he said your right about the 10x anything over 10x would not be of much use for my needs ;) Title: Re: Jewlers eye piece Post by: Greg on January 11, 2016, 04:13:51 PM I always try to help, maybe a bit pedantic sometimes.
If you want to see some very close up detail,, I was given a 2-LED 45X Mini Adjustable Portable Microscope MG10081-4 w/ A Black Case they are less than a fiver and available off Amazon.
