When you need to work close up, enlarge or examine minute detail, then the Horizon 2D-S Magnifier range from KIEV/USA includes a model to suit you. (Horizon loupes are items C-F in the photo on the left)

Horizon two-dimensional surface magnifiers feature precision-engineered glass achromatic multi-coated lenses and aluminum construction.

The range of Horizon loupes includes features such as graticule and engraved scales, variable and fixed focus lenses, and can probably be considered as the finest loupes available anywhere. See descriptions for details.
