    What is the new Preview icon supposed to represent?

    It look to me more like an empty jar than anything - perhaps an old
    fashioned paste pot with a hone for the brush?



    It's a viewing lens, I have one on the desk next to me. The clear
    plastic sides allow the light in to whatever you are examining.

    https://magnifyingglasses.co.uk/shop/desk-and-inspection-magnifiers/jewellers-loupe-magnifying-eye-glass-single-lens-10x/

    Or, better, the sidebar linkie:

    https://magnifyingglasses.co.uk/product-category/hands-free-magnifiers-and-stands/

    I tend to take a pic with my iPhone and then zoom in using the Photos
    app but those items you linked to look rather nice.
    J.

    If you look for "loupe" you will find other examples.

    Even better: "photographic loupe".

    Why not provide a direct link?

    I figured most can type a search, but that works, too.
