Consider a SolderScope. (See QRP Quarterly, Apr. 2018.) (www.qrparci.org)?
Its a DIY binocular stereo inspection microscope for about $50.
Get a pair of 3.5X - 420mm dental magnifying loupes for $30 or so from Ebay/
Amazon.? Add +2 reading glasses in front of the loupes. (Dollar store readers
work OK.) Mount the loupes on a desk lamp stand.
I built the first SolderScope almost 2 years ago and use it daily while the
AmScope SE-400 sits unused. Advantages of the SolderScope are low cost, wide
field, 7 inch working distance and I can keep my eyeglasses on.
Web page at http://www.qsl.net/k9ac/solderScope.html has full details.
