   A pen seen through a magnifying glass Jim Hutton as detective Ellery Queen, posing with a magnifying glass. A magnifying glass is a convex lens that is used to produce a magnified image of an object. The lens is usually mounted in a frame with a handle. Beyond its primary function of magnification, this simple yet ingenious tool serves a ...

3. Coddington magnifier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coddington_magnifier

   A Coddington magnifier is a magnifying glass consisting of a single very thick lens with a central deep groove diaphragm at the equator, thus limiting the rays to those close to the axis, which minimizes spherical aberration. This allows for greater magnification than a conventional magnifying glass, typically 10× up to 20×. Most single lens ...

   The postage stamp appears larger with the use of a magnifying glass. Stepwise magnification by 6% per frame into a 39-megapixel image. In the final frame, at about 170x, an image of a bystander is seen reflected in the man's cornea. Magnification is the process of enlarging the apparent size, not physical size, of something. This enlargement is ...

5. Objective (optics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objective_(optics)

   One of the most important properties of microscope objectives is their magnification.The magnification typically ranges from 4× to 100×. It is combined with the magnification of the eyepiece to determine the overall magnification of the microscope; a 4× objective with a 10× eyepiece produces an image that is 40 times the size of the object.

6. Loupe - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loupe

   A typical magnification for use in dentistry is 2.5×, but dental loupes can be anywhere in the range from 2× to 8×. [15] Optimal magnification is a function of the type of work the doctor does - namely, how much detail he or she needs to see, taking into consideration that when magnification increases, the field of view decreases.

7. Enlarger - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enlarger

   Enlarger lenses, like the dialyte construction, are generally symmetrical in design or nearly so, optimised for sharp focus at 2x to 10x magnification. [1] The light passes through a film holder, which holds the exposed and developed photographic negative or transparency. Prints made with an enlarger are called enlargements.
