1. An electronic loupe comprising
a headpiece supporting at least one digital camera with optical zoom capability;
a viewing structure, on which an image taken by the camera is displayed mounted upon a linkage, the linkage further comprising:
a first leveler attached between the viewing structure and a second leveler,
the second leveler being attached to a third leveler, and slidable vertically along a length thereof; and
the first leveler hinged slidable forward and rearward along a length of the second leveler as defined by a connection between the second and third levelers;
wherein the third leveler is also operatively coupled to a headpiece;
a set of controls for the electronic loupe;
a graphic user interface displayed in the viewing structure;
a control system, said control system having the capability of producing a digital zoom of the image; and
a power source;
wherein a headpiece is worn, and the viewing structure provides imagery of a targeted area at a higher magnification for a user.
