    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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binoculars

    Binoculars concentrate the light gathered by the objective into a beam, of which the diameter, the exit pupil, is the objective diameter divided by the magnifying power. For maximum effective light-gathering and brightest image, and to maximize the sharpness, [27] the exit pupil should at least equal the diameter of the pupil of the human eye ...

[3] Dagron used the modified Stanhope lens in mounting his microscopic pictures in photographic jewels known as Stanhopes. A rival lens is the Coddington magnifier. This was ...

    It has been proposed that glass eye covers in hieroglyphs from the Old Kingdom of Egypt (c. 2686–2181 BCE) were functional simple glass meniscus lenses. [40] The so-called Nimrud lens, a rock crystal artifact dated to the 7th century BCE, might have been used as a magnifying glass, although it could have simply been a decoration. [41] [42 ...
