Detail

If you want a 20X magnification loupe, go for the absolute-best quality / smallest lens (this one is 5-element, better than than the usual high-quality 'triplet' lens).

 

It is, however, a small lens. You will always (with any loupe) have to compromise between lens size and optical quality.
