Magnifier for Cartridge Setup?

[MDP]

What type of magnifying device do you use for setting up your cartridge?

These are very good and the one I like to use.....this particular model has real optic lenes which cost a bit more but worth it IMO....they also have cheaper one's with plastic lenes but they scratch easy and not as durable.

A linen counter also is handy....the one's with real glass are the best. My camera skills need work though

Mark.......I have had success using a 10x Bausch & Lomb loupe. I hand hold it. Works like a charm.

Anyone using something with a little longer focal length that you don't need to hold? Any USB expereriences?

See post #3

I'm not a fan of having to hold any type of magnification either.....
