Examples of Magnification
- A magnifying glass which uses a positive (convex) lens to make things look bigger by allowing the user to hold them closer to his eye.
- A telescope which uses its large objective lens to create an image of a distant object and then allows the user to examine the image closely with a smaller eyepiece lens thus making the object look larger.
- A microscope which makes a small object appear as a much larger object at a comfortable distance for viewing. A microscope is similar in layout to a telescope except that the object being viewed is close to the objective, which is usually much smaller than the eyepiece.
- a slide projector which projects a large image of a small slide on a screen.
