At the store one might buy some lamb chops that chew like rubber.
Is there a optic one can view threw to detect the clone imposter sheep I need something for field use and recognition. Or maybe illumination of the subject?

No. You compare the DNA of the suspected sample to KNOWN cloned sheep. But this requires you have a database of ALL known cloned sheep DNA.
Your question is basically irrelevent, no one is producing cloned sheep commerically. The number of cloned sheep is very small and no one is selling them to butchers for meat.

Actually there is.... Since a clone uses the cells of older living cells (the sheep that was cloned) the "younger" clone sheep will have cells that are older than the clone sheep itself.
Sheep A is 4 yrs old
Cells from sheep A are taken for cloning
Sheep B is born (created) using the cells from sheep A.
Cells from sheep B will appear to be those of a 4 yr old sheep.

Since the perfect clone is the identical sheep to the clone lamb chops, then there be not an optical situation detector of such considerable magnitude to illumify the offending rubberness of such an impostering dinner guest. One is left within the finality of acceptance of the clone-like rubberness, or McDonalds !
Well, I hope I have shed some light on your dilemma, enjoy your lunch

A clone of any entity is the exact (exact!) duplicate from whence it came. The DNA structure is exactly the same. Two cloned sheep from a donor sheep will be different only in how they were raised: water, vitamins, type of feed, amount of feed, amount of exercise, medicines, etc.
So, no device, to my knowledge is possible
