Magnifyers

I use “six-eyes mode”—two pairs of Zenni bifocals on top of each other.

I made an inconspicuous mod to a set of my normal close work specs, which have stainless rims, to add small hooks using tinned 22-gauge wire.

That way I can push the second pair up to my forehead most of the time, and flip them down into place when needed.

What you are looking for are "dental loupes" or "surgical loupes", available on amazon and from standard supply houses, at many price points.

A Mantis is fabulous.

Some of the digital microscopes, with built-in LCD screen, are cheap and good, but in many the support post limits the PCB size that you can work on.

Yes. It's astounding. The clarity and 3D vision are stunning, and it's great to work and solder under. I got a "compact" Mantis on ebay, and have 4x and 6x lenses.

I stick my cell phone in the visor and take very nice pictures.
