How to use

Hold the loupe close to your dominant eye and bring the object to be inspected within the focused distance until the image appears sharp. Use steady, controlled movements and, if necessary, a consistent light source to reduce reflections and reveal inclusions or surface details. For coin or flat-object inspection, position the loupe at a slight angle to avoid glare and adjust distance to maximize sharpness. After use, store the loupe in a protective case or pocket to prevent scratches on the lens.

Usage recommendations

For best results, inspect items under good directional lighting and keep the lens clean and free of dust or oils. When performing grading or identification tasks, compare observations against reference materials and use the loupe as a visual aid rather than a sole determinant of quality.
