jewelers loop

I have found that at least 200X is needed for a good, close inspection. I found one on Ebay that is used for kraft work and also came with a stand. This doesn't work at all for cartridge setup. I'm thinking something around 20 to 50x might be best for that task.

Isn't this interesting....I just ordered a 20x and a 30x jewelers loop a few days ago.

I will post back in a few days, maybe a week, from now and let you know how it goes after I can spend some time toying around with it. I did find a reasonable website to order from that escapes me at the moment, some Coin Collecting Hobbiest place in Ohio.

I have decided to play with fire and enter the realm of microscopic cartridge set up.

Check out this thread, it shows the setup I use:
