Compiled by Dick Rauh
Included here are sources and information not readily available, especially to those outside large metropolitan areas, except via the Internet. The information is current as of 2002, as could be best determined. Usually, toll-free (800) numbers are intended for orders only. Listings here are generally in the sequence in which their subjects are discussed at length in this book, but they are not listed by chapters because a number of topics are covered in more than one chapter. |

| Some of these magnifiers are like eyeglasses that fit over the head with an adjustable band around the back of the head. The eyeglass portion fits over standard eyeglasses or works without eyeglasses and moves up out of the way when magnification is unnecessary. The lenses are available in various magnifications, providing shorter or longer working distances. (More magnification means the viewer must be closer to the object/drawing.) |
