Magnifying glass.

Why not go for one of these ,you can inspect a camera sensor as well. Just a thought

I bought a cheap one a while ago but never used it. I know others who use a small loupe similar to this one from the same site:

I've heard recommendations of getting something above 8X magnification for springtails...

The only issue i see with the Loupe is the size of the glass. I am thinking if i go small i will be straining my eyes like i get with the MPE. My thoughts are if i get something bigger i can move the glass away from my eye reducing the strain.

Makes sense. I think I tried a loupe once (I found one in the house, low mag though I think) and didn't really get on with it.
