Are a 9€ pair of magnification glasses and a 26€ electronic microscope any good? Are they usable for electronics work and small SMD soldering? Join me today and let's find out.

If you browse electronics forums, it seems that any microscope worth recommending (electronic or optical) starts at around 1000€, which puts it way out of my price range for the use I would give it. However, a friend of mine recently recommended both these cheap glasses and the microscope and they're well within my budget because they cost a tiny fraction of those other recommended ones. Let's give them a try.
