About product

What a head loupe is for

Modeling largely takes place at a size the human eye stops coping with in time. A photo-etched part the size of a grain of rice, a decal that has to sit to within a millimeter, the eye of a figure or the edge of a panel line: all of that goes more easily when the work is magnified. A head loupe is worn on the head like a headband, so unlike a loupe in the hand or on a stand it leaves both hands free for tweezers and a blade.

How to work with it

Magnifying optics have a narrow band of sharpness. Once it is on, therefore, first find the distance at which the image is clean and hold the work there; adjusting the height of your bench or chair helps with that. Magnification places greater demands on light, so add a lamp at the working surface. And take breaks, because after longer work with a loupe the eyes need a rest on a more distant view.

Looking after the loupe

Wipe the lenses with a soft optical cloth, not with a paper tissue, which will scratch the surface. Do not set the loupe down on its lenses, and when not working store it so that no sanding dust settles on the optics. Remove drops of glue and paint from a lens as soon as possible, because once they have dried that is no longer possible without risking a scratch.

FAQ

The value of the magnification is stated by the manufacturer in the product data. The forms differ within the series according to the optics used, so a single figure does not hold for the whole series.

It depends on the shape of your glasses and on the adjustment of the headband. Try it out; if you wear glasses all the time, reckon with a tighter fit.

To everything where tenths of a millimeter matter: seating photo-etched parts, decals, painting figures or scribing panel lines.

With a soft optical cloth. A paper tissue and coarse fabric do not belong on the lenses, because they will scratch the surface.
