Magnifying Glass (GregTech 6)

The Magnifying Glass is a tool added by GregTech 6. When placed on a crafting grid with a Book and Quill and four identical samples of a material (piles of dust, ingots, ore blocks, chem tubes, etc.), the Magnifying Glass loses some durability and creates a book of properties for that material. These books include helpful hints for important materials (magnetite, wrought iron, etc.).

The primary purpose of the Magnifying Glass is to examine in-world blocks. For Rocks (GregTech 6) use-ing a Magnifying Glass provides the same tool tip as the inventory item. Machines provide some additional information, such as Boiler (GregTech 6) calcification or the current settings on a Filter Extender or Cover. When use-ed on the centre of a Pipe block, it will display the fluid contents, and similarly for inventories, tanks, and the Smelting Crucible.
