French term

une "loupe"

Non-PRO French to English Tech/Engineering IT (Information Technology)
The context is a user guide for a system application. I think I know what they mean by "loupe" but is there a precise/special IT term that is used instead of "magnifier" or "magnifying glass".
Sentence: Dans le bloc XYX, remplir le champ ABC ou Login et cliquer sur la ***loupe*** pour sélectionner un XYZ existant.

Note from asker:
It really is as simple as that - the term used in IT is magnifying glass!??! Well, I am always glad to learn.
Peer comment(s):

agree Tony M : If the text is intended to explain which button does what, then this is best; if however that has already been done, then the 'zoom (in) button' might well be all that is needed.
