#gambit-loupe1 > .gambit-loupe-glass > .gambit-loupe-magnified-image {

background-image: url('http://my.site/urltomyimage.jpg') !important;

You will have to make adjustments, such as editing the background image URL and changing the loupe ID/selector. Also, your alternative loupe image must have the exact dimensions/proportions as the original.
