The Brite Vue Quasar 7X Sensor Loupe is a product that is specifically made to examine the ensor of a DSLR with a new higher magnification of 7x, versus the original Sensor Loupe which has a magnification of 5x. Dust is an inherent problem when it comes to DSLR's and poses many problems for any photographer. Image quality is degraded and many hours of editing must be carried out to retouch any pictures with expensive digital imaging software. Also it takes a lengthy process to determine if the sensor is actually dirty, taking test shots and examining them once again with expensive digital imaging software. This may not be practical when a photographer is out in the field. Developed within the VisibleDust research lab the Sensor Loupe is specifically tailor-made for examining the sensor of a DSLR. The new Sensor Loupe 7x has a higher magnification and more in depth view for checking the DSLR chamber and sensor. Because of its awkward location, deep with the camera chamber, illuminating the senor is rather difficult and direct light may obfuscate dust by blending it against the sensor. With the unique BriteVue XL lighting system (patent pending) and specially configured array of 6 vivid LEDs and high resolution lens, the Sensor Loupe 7x brings forward the debris in a three dimensional spectacle with a new higher magnification. The Sensor Loupe was designed to help photographers spend more time taking pictures and less time editing images and cleaning thecamera. With the Sensor Loupe 7x the photographer can easily check for debris in minutes and know exactly if a cleaning needs to take place or if they can continue with a shoot. This will greatly reduce the amount of digital editing a photographer will have to do and also reduce the number of potentially harmful cleanings one may attempt. Also, if debris is located, it may help in determining the type of contamination and the relative course of action for removal. Although the Sensor Loupe is specifically made for examining the DSLR sensor, its versatile design will prove useful for a yriad of tasks. For example it may be used to examine the chamber area of the camera body, peruse negatives from film style cameras or to inspect the motherboard of a computer. The compact design of the Sensor Loupe 7x will prove to be a convenience in any photographer's collection of tools. The high resolution lens is constructed of a single 7x magnified K9 optical glass with MgF2 coating to prevent chromatic aberrations. The 6 LEDs in the exclusive BriteVue XL lighting system provide ample lighting for a crystal clear view of the sensor. It also comes witha handy carrying case, a neck strap.
