If one wants to his hands free and can appear larger by Lupe Small and equally or rapidly changing use the other, naked eye, is such a magnifying glass as practical as cost-effective alternative to a stereo microscope or a spectacle-type frame due to the comparatively low cost advantage. It is impossible for physical reasons, to connect high magnifications with large working distance. The poor judgment of a Vorbesprechenden to this page to a Eschenbach Loupe should therefore be ignored. Apparently this was in complete ignorance of the laws of physics expected to have at high magnification, the object to be processed as their own two hands in view. Now, you just have to see enlarged with one eye (therefore yes this type magnifier) an object and then keep the other (unarmed) eye track. A 7-fold magnification as here I think is the maximum magnification, which is practically very applicable when it comes to the back and forth of the eyes of magnifying and normal. My magnifying glass to enlarge 5X, and I am very satisfied with it. From 10x magnification loupes I use that I was growing lead with one hand on the observing eye, while the other hand holds the object. Or I take from 10X equal a stereomicroscope. Hands free again - since then - of course with a low working distance. At the Eschenbach magnifier can not be faulted. But it could be made of a softer plastic, the holder for the eye.
