Ways to tell them apart:
The word loop contains double o, like in hoop, which refers to something circular or continuous, just like a loop.
Loupe includes the letter e, which can remind you of eye, as you use a loupe to see things more clearly or in detail, like a jeweler’s loupe.
Remember the phrase hula hoop for loop as both deal with circular motions, whereas loupe is more akin to scope or lens, both requiring precise vision.
