Eye Loupes For Watchmakers: Getting The Very Best!

Think about it. The smaller the watch the more it costs! The smaller the watch, the smaller the spare parts! The smaller the spare parts the more difficult it is to see the interior workings and to repair or replace them. But how do watchmakers take a look at the interior working of delicate high precision time pieces without completely wreaking their eyesight? With the help of individual magnification systems called as eye loupes.

It stands to reason that watchmakers need a magnification device to check the interior workings of watches. Each watch has numerous gears and cogs that all cohesively work together to show time. Even a slight bend in one of the cogs and wheels irreparably damages the watch requiring brand new spare parts. But a watch maker has to be able to see the cogs and wheels and find out exactly where the defect is and watchmaker’s loupes do the job just fine. Each watchmaker loupe acts as a single microscope screwed in to the watchmaker’s eye. The watch maker can hold the watch with one hand while squinting into the interior of the watch with the other eye. These allow for hands free viewing while still magnifying the object so that details can be viewed comfortably in your field of vision. There are several different designs in the loupe structure. Watchmakers may prefer a single magnification of 5X by which ordinary details become visible. These are called as single lens loupes as they are made from a single lens in the casing. They are extremely well suited for watchmakers, as they don’t require any devices for color correction. These single magnification loupes are the first ones used by every watchmaker to pick out large details. They are also cheaper to buy and readily available as they are commonly used in the jewelry industry as well. One very good example of this variety is the Bergeon 2611 Watchmakers Screw Rimmed Eyeglass and the Bergeon 4422 Watchmakers Economy Eyeglass.
Double magnification loupes are also present. Bausch and Lomb make a great one which gives double the magnification but with a single lens which is fixed in position. The other lens is movable and that makes it easier to focus the lens and create a deeper and much more detailed picture. The second lens can be attached to the single lens system as there is a bezel provided with both. All you have to do is focus the two lenses for a much more detailed picture of the interior of the watch. More intricate and high quality time pieces may require triple magnification provided with Hastings lenses. Hastings Triplet lens are specialty lenses especially engineered to accurately provide magnification while still eliminating the color distortion that occurs in ordinary loupes. A few good examples of these are the Basic Tripple 5x, 10x and 15x Watchmakers Lens and the ARC Form Tri-Lens Loupe 10/15/20x.
These light weight and easy to use loupes are just the thing that watchmakers need to repair high quality time pieces.

I'm not sure what the exact type of this microscope is?

It's lenses are made by Bausch and Lomb and it has two lenses at the bottom(I'm missing one) and uses any light source using a mirror here are some pictures, http://s616.photobucket.com/albums/tt242/mrcool1230/

Since this microscope has only 1 eye piece and more there are more than 1 lens hence it is a Unilocular compound microscope.
