2. 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 ...

3. Magnifying glass - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnifying_glass

   The magnifying power in this case is roughly MP = d o Φ. [9] A typical magnifying glass might have a focal length of 25 cm, corresponding to an optical power of 4 dioptres. Such a magnifier would be sold as a "2×" magnifier. In actual use, an observer with "typical" eyes would obtain a magnifying power between 1 and 2, depending on where lens ...

4. Opera glasses - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opera_glasses

   The design of many modern opera glasses of the ornamental variety is based on the popular lorgnettes of the 19th century. Often, modern theatre binoculars are equipped with an LED flashlight, which makes it easier to find a place in the dark. In addition to the more stereotypical binocular type, folding opera glasses were another common design.

5. 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.

6. Magnification - Wikipedia

   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.

7. 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 type of 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.
