Simple and brilliant.I use reading glasses. You can get them from the drug store in a variety of magnifications. They are just easier to work with.
Taking that approach one step further, I suppose a good optician could put some custom lenses in a frame to give the magnification required to match your eyes. In the UK when you buy prescription glasses you can often get another pair free or for a very low cost.
I would say these qualify as "popular"...Which magnifiers are popular...
The very best set should be what I put together on my workbench, honestly do not know of anything better :I'm thinking of a better set with glass lenses,.
One square inch on the board shows as big as the screen. If a 20" x 20" display, magnification is around 400.I seem to use 1.5 and 2.0 magnification lenses in mine, I spose they may not have the magnification they are marked up with.
I didnt know working distance depended on magnification, 2x would be the one for me then.
They seem to be a lot cheaper in the Us, and there doesnt seem to be anything over here that has proper glass lenses.
The flip down doo dah looks good too.
I wonder if the original optivisort lenses will fit the import copy.

Glass lens are pretty rare these days, due to the weight and the cost, optical plastic is far more common - and makes spectacles far more wearable.

To obtain that magnification with lenses, leaves no room to probe nor soldering between the lens and the target. Not the case here.
I wear plastic lens spectacles here at work, have to company policy, however when I do something small, like today joining little springs together I have to take them off, maybe because they are 1:1.
Another brilliant idea- I have just tried it and it works well but the working distance shortens directly with magnification- as you would expect.You can double up glasses since they are just magnifiers. You can put on a 2x and a second 2x to double the magnification if needed for a short time. I've been doing this fairly regularly lately.
Hi spec. Electro optic? That is what the picture is all about. Clearance to work under the camera, anywhere on the bench, and surprisingly easy to get used to do rework looking at the monitor instead of at the board.Wow that is awesome, and the electro-optic system too.
Any details?

Glass is heavier than plastic but not enough to be a problem.
