Headset magnifier for insect viewing

Postby madkatz1 on Mon Aug 10, 2009 6:48 pm

I need a hands free magnifier for viewing butterflies at close range for extended periods of time. I need something comfortable and the least amount of eye strain possible. Any suggestions?

Hi

Anything you wear over your eye will require you to hold the specimen up close to the magnifier. A clip on like the Zeiss or a headset like the B&L will do, nicely. Best option for you might actually be a field stereo microscope like the little Nikon Mini It will outperfom any magnifier and be more comfortable to use to boot.
