I believe that there are magnifiers that are flat like a sheet of paper. They don't have strong magnification. If I find one, I will report.

Hi Carolyn! That's an interesting suggestion, and, though I don't have one of those magnifiers, Just imagining using one, I have my doubts whether it would work, because of the magnifier being high enough to lift the camera too far off the paper.
