True but you can do actual work under a stereoscopic microscope. It has a vaunted place on my workbench.

I've got one as well, and I'll say it's extremely nice for removing splinters. I do a bit of woodworking, so it ends up being unexpectedly dual-purpose.

Indeed, I'm the designated family surgeon. I've removed more splinters from people than I can count.
