Magnification:
Magnification is recommended for use during
sharpening & inspection procedures. We recommend a magnifier which leaves your
hands free and allows three dimensional vision. Try Our: 
OptiVisor™

Please Note: Lens magnification of 2 - 2.5 times the object size is optimal; however, no more than 4 times magnification is needed. High-powered devices should only be used for examining instruments--not for the actual sharpening process--because higher power distorts the object being magnified and interferes with the sharpening accuracy.
Proper Illumination: Use
high intensity lamps, or other light sources, that can be directed down and concentrated
in one specific area. Proper lighting is essential to the precision procedures
needed to sharpen your instruments accurately. Why? (1) To see what you are doing
during the sharpening process and (2) To evaluate the sharpness of your instrument's
edges. Dull edges reflect light. Rotate the instrument so that the
cutting edge is facing directly into the light. If you see light reflecting off the
cutting edge, then you are holding a dull instrument.
