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. Magnification - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnification

   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.

4. Nimrud lens - Wikipedia

   [1] [2] [3] This would make it equivalent to a 3× magnifying glass. [5] The surface of the lens has twelve cavities that were opened during grinding, which would have contained naphtha or some other fluid trapped in the raw crystal. The lens is said to be able to focus sunlight, although the focus is far from perfect.

5. 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 ...

6. 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.

7. 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.
