2. Magnification - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnification

   The maximum angular magnification (compared to the naked eye) of a magnifying glass depends on how the glass and the object are held, relative to the eye. If the lens is held at a distance from the object such that its front focal point is on the object being viewed, the relaxed eye (focused to infinity) can view the image with angular ...

3. Magnifying glass - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnifying_glass

   The eye can then be a larger distance away, and a good image can be obtained very easily; the focus is not very sensitive to the eye's exact position. The magnifying power in this case is roughly MP = (0.25 m)Φ. A typical magnifying glass might have a focal length of 25 cm, corresponding to an optical power of 4 dioptres. Such a magnifier ...

4. Dioptre - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dioptre

   The magnifying power V of a simple magnifying glass is related to its optical power φ by V = 0.25 m × φ + 1 {\displaystyle V=0.25\ \mathrm {m} \times \varphi +1} . This is approximately the magnification observed when a person with normal vision holds the magnifying glass close to his or her eye.

5. Barlow lens - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barlow_lens

   Cone of light behind an achromatic doublet objective lens (A) without (red) and with (green) a Barlow lens optical element (B). The Barlow lens, named after Peter Barlow, is a diverging lens which, used in series with other optics in an optical system, increases the effective focal length of an optical system as perceived by all components that are after it in the system.

6. Optical telescope - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_telescope

   The Large Binocular Telescope at the Mount Graham International Observatory in Arizona uses two curved mirrors to gather light. An optical telescope is a telescope that gathers and focuses light mainly from the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum, to create a magnified image for direct visual inspection, to make a photograph, or to collect data through electronic image sensors.
