Sometimes you just need to take a closer look at an image; the standard web 2.0 (horrible term) way is to use a ‘lightbox’ type effect; this can get a little boring after a while. Why not try something different? This is where a plugin called loupe comes in.
It’s built on the excellent jQuery JavaScript library so is dead simple to impliment:
//Initialise
$('#mygreatpictureID').loupe({
width: 200,
height: 150,
loupe: 'magClass'
});
A few lines of JavaScript and you get a great looking zoom feature for your users. Move your mouse over the image to view the effect.

When your going through this website you quickly come to the conclusion that this is a simply genius solution to what was potentially a difficult and demanding creative brief. Great short simple copy alongside superb and frustrating interaction make this an annoyingly good site. Try Drugs now!
Beautiful use of 3D and interaction as GE shows us how they plan to update the energy grid and bring it into the 21st Century, Plug into the Smart Grid now! Really great attention to detail in the mini environments, loving the fish swimming in the tiny ocean on the homepage.
