2. 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. They usually provide between 1.8× and 6× magnification.

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 ...

4. Screen magnifier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_magnifier

   Ranges of 1- to 16-times magnification are common. The greater the magnification the smaller the proportion of the original screen content that can be viewed, so users will tend to use the lowest magnification they can manage. [citation needed] Screen magnifiers commonly provide several other features for people with particular sight difficulties:

5. 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

6. 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 ...

   Thus, while a "full page magnifier" based on a fresnel lens can span some 625 cm 2 (96.9 sq in) , it typically achieves no more than 1.4x magnification (advertised as "2x" if measured by area instead of the scale factor); an aspheric segment hand magnifier can achieve a scale factor in excess of two (area factor in excess of four) but typically ...
