Many/most people use a light table or "shelved" mostly vertical
display which has room for many slides, sometimes on rows, and a
loupe to look for sharpness, composition.
You can also buy $20 reading glasses or half-glasses from a pharmacy
to look close easily. Get the highest power you can find, usually 3
dioptres or more. You can also stack these in front of your eyes.
