2. Magnifying glass - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnifying_glass

   Magnifying glasses typically have low magnifying power: 2×–6×, with the lower-power types being much more common. At higher magnifications, the image quality of a simple magnifying glass becomes poor due to optical aberrations, particularly spherical aberration. When more magnification or a better image is required, other types of hand ...

3. Dome magnifier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dome_magnifier

   A dome magnifier is a dome-shaped magnifying device made of glass or acrylic plastic, used to enlarge words on a page or computer screen. They are plano-convex lenses : the flat (planar) surface is placed on the object to be magnified, and the convex (dome) surface provides the enlargement.

4. Presbyopia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presbyopia

   A common sign of presbyopia is difficulty in reading small print, which results in having to hold reading material farther away. Other symptoms associated can be headaches and eyestrain. [4] Different people experience different degrees of problems. [1] Other types of refractive errors may exist at the same time as presbyopia. [1]

5. 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 ...

6. Enlarger - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enlarger

   All enlargers consist of a light source, normally an incandescent light bulb shining though a condenser or translucent screen to provide even illumination, a holder for the negative or transparency, and a specialized lens for projection, though some, such as the Rapid Rectilinear or Aplanat [citation needed] could be used in both camera and enlarger.

7. Optical microscope - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_microscope

   The optical microscope, also referred to as a light microscope, is a type of microscope that commonly uses visible light and a system of lenses to generate magnified images of small objects. Optical microscopes are the oldest design of microscope and were possibly invented in their present compound form in the 17th century.
