How the eye loupe is used
An eye loupe is a short tube carrying a single convex lens. Held in the eye socket by gentle pressure of the brow and cheek, it keeps the lens at a fixed distance from the eye, and the object is brought to roughly the focal distance of the lens, about 65 mm for this loupe, where it appears sharp and enlarged about five times.
Since nothing has to be held, the loupe suits tasks where both hands are busy: sorting seeds or insects with forceps, checking solder joints and small components in electronics practicals, reading vernier and micrometer scales, or examining minerals.
- Place the loupe against the eye and relax the other eye.
- Bring the object up to about 65 mm from the lens.
- Move the object slightly in or out until the detail is sharp.
- Keep light falling on the object, not into the loupe, for the best contrast.
