ABSTRACT:
A loupe for use in conjunction with a digital SLR camera. The loupe is designed to couple to the lens mount of a camera to enable detection of any dust particles or other debris present on camera's image sensor. The loupe has a tubular housing having an access window slot formed therein to permit insertion of a cleaning tool into the interior of the housing to clean the image sensor while the loupe remains coupled to the camera. The invention thereby permits a user to more easily see dust particles or other debris on the image sensor during the cleaning operation.
