Starting with this piece the enthusiast may want to move up to more powerful optical tools, particularly for the study of brickwork. Even under a 10-12x loupe individual bricks will appear fairly well-formed; significant irregularities mandate a 30-50x penscope. This assumes at least average vision. For poor eyesight consult your eye care professional.
