@Dianora My vision is nearly perfect, just a correctable astigmatism in one eye. So I can see these 3216 resistors and capacitors just fine. I'll probably be OK down to 2012 and 1608 unaided.

But I do have an antique stereo microscope that I can use if necessary, a Bausch and Lomb Stereozoom 4 with an X-Y boom stand that I got from a warehouse liquidation. It's a bit misaligned and needs some TLC. Looks like you can get 'em for $100 on eBay if you hunt.
