This very cheap illuminated magnifier is just what you need to read the tiny print on electrical components

It’s the first thing I use when I need to read tiny print on electronics, usually to see the power output specs on chargers or get a model name. Works great for little IC’s too.

I wonder what it says on that little chip

Good enough to distinguish a “1” from and “I”, but I meant the little one

Also it’s trivial to keep a snapshot of what you’re looking at to share with others
