The
Private Eye® Loupe:
Looking
Closely
The jeweler's
loupe (the "hardware" of The Private Eye process) is a magical magnification tool that
packs a wallop, though it is about the size of a walnut. It makes
the world-of-small large, it makes the previously invisible visible.
Its secret is that a loupe cuts out the rest of the world, cuts out
competing visual distractions, which increases drama, wonder, concentration.
Its secret is also that it makes the world slightly strange, fresh.
The loupe helps strip a thing of its cliché, its stereotyped
image, so that real discovery can begin.

A loupe gives the ordinary person the heightened visual sensitivity
of the artist, the writer, the scientist. Close observation - mixed
with wonder - is essential for the development of artist, scientist,
writer, as well as mathematician, humorist, inventor, and more.
One loupe is 5X magnification, two loupes nested gives 10X magnification. (When you nest
two loupes, at 10X, you still have a wide field of view, and
you have the same power as a 10X experience on a dissecting scope. Note: Your focal distance with two loupes is 1/2".) The advantage:
These high quality lenses with exceptional clarity give students and adults the best possible "wow" factor to hook them on the joys of close observation. Each student
can work at his/her own desk and can easily take them outside for
fieldwork.
