About product

What it is for

A head loupe goes on the head, so it takes up neither a hand nor space on the bench while you work. That is its main advantage over a loupe held in the hand or on a stand: both hands stay free and you always have the magnified view wherever you happen to be looking. When building a model it suits everywhere the parts are smaller than the naked eye can cope with: on photo-etched parts, when scribing panel lines, when seating small decals, when painting instruments and when cleaning up mating surfaces.

How to work with it

First set the headband so that the loupe holds without pressure on your temples, because a band pulled too tight makes itself unpleasantly felt after a while. Try the working distance out in advance: with a magnified view the band of sharpness is short, so the distance between the eye and the part has to be kept and the light has to be good. When you look up from the work, tip the visor up or take the loupe off, otherwise a magnified and unfocused image will throw you off balance. Never look at the sun or at a strong light source through the loupe.

Care

Clean the optics with a soft spectacle cloth, dampened with clean water if need be. Do not use solvents, thinners or paper towels, because the surface is easily scratched. Set the loupe down so that the optics do not rest on the bench top, and protect it from falling.

Who it is for

Anyone who works with small parts will appreciate the loupe: modelers, but also people who repair electronics, watches or jewelry.

FAQ

The degree of magnification is in the data from the manufacturer on the packaging.

To work with photo-etched parts, to scribing panel lines, to seating small decals and to painting instruments, that is, everywhere a part cannot be followed with the naked eye.

Tighten the headband only enough for the loupe to hold without pressure, and try the working distance out. The band of sharpness is short under magnification, so the distance has to be kept.

Clean them with a soft spectacle cloth, dampened with clean water if need be. Do not use solvents or paper towels.
