Much more useful than a magnifying glass. I've found +5 added your
normal distance prescription about right.

I'm not expecting to 'see' anything. Just passing on a tip to those who

While big power components have the potential to go out spectacularly,
those carrying signals are much better at dying in a more discrete
manner

But if checking voltages, etc, it helps to see where you're probing?
