I have always checked my solder joints with a jewelers eye loupe, mine is small and folds into its case.
It is really too small for the job as I have very strong magnification in mine, the bigger the lens the easier it will be, just make sure it has lots of magnification.
Any strong magnifying glass will help, but nothing beats what you see with a strong loupe.
I bought mine on Ebay for less then a cup of coffee and I have used it hundreds of times.
I also have a smaller one with 2 lenses in it but it is simply too small for the job.
Just search for "Jewellers Eye Loupe" and you will find them.
Cheers
