How should one choose a magnifier? Consider the following as you contemplate which magnifying system that is best for you:
Hand Held Magnifiers are the most well-known type of magnifier and the most common type of magnifying glasses available on See It Bigger. Handheld magnifiers usually consist of a magnifying lens attached to a handle -- think Sherlock Holmes type magnifier. When choosing a handheld magnifier, keep in mind that the higher the magnification, the smaller the lens size. This is due to the optical properties of a magnifier. A handheld magnifier with a 2x magnifying lens will generally have a lens diameter of about three to five inches. A handheld magnifier with a 10x magnifying lens will generally have a lens diameter of less than(one and a half inches). Use this type of magnifying glass to help with reading (2x -4x); inspecting art work, antiques, stamps and coins (5x - 10x); viewing travel and topographical maps (3x - 6x); conducting forensic inspections (5x - 15x); inspecting driver's licenses and passports (5x - 10x); viewing architectural drawings and blueprints (3x - 5x); and looking at photographs and images (5x - 10x).

Recommended uses for Hands Free Magnifiers include reading (2x); inspecting stamps and coins (3x - 10x); tying fly hooks for fishing (2x - 4x); model building (2x to 4x); watch repair and inspecting jewelry (5x - 17x); needlepoint and other sewing crafts (2x-4x); detailed painting of very small objects (5x - 10x); and inspecting electrical work and wiring (5x - 7x).
Page Magnifiers and Bar Magnifiers are in demand because they help people see an entire page or a large section of text at one time. Many page magnifiers (especially larger size page magnifiers) are made with a Fresnel Lens. Fresnel Lens magnifiers require you to hold the magnifier between two and five inches above what you are trying to magnify to achieve optimal focus. Laying the magnifier directly on a page of reading material, for example, will not magnify the text. A bar magnifier, on the other hand, is normally not made with a Fresnel Lens and can usually be placed directly on top of what you are trying to magnify. Bar Magnifiers come in various lengths, from approximately 4 inches length to a 12 inch ruler size Bar Magnifier. Page Magnifiers and Bar Magnifiers are helpful for reading small print (2x - 3x); reviewing medical records, accounting documents and spreadsheets (2x - 3x); looking at census and genealogy records (2x - 4x); and magnifying blue prints (2x -4x).
