Magnifiers

A magnifying glass is a handheld optical device used to magnify and enlarge small objects or details. It consists of a convex lens, which is typically made of glass or plastic, that is held in a frame or handle.

To use a magnifying glass, the lens is held close to the object being viewed, and the user looks through the lens at the object. The lens magnifies the object, making it appear larger and easier to see.

Magnifying glasses are commonly used for a variety of purposes, including reading small print, examining jewelry or coins, and inspecting small parts or components in electronic devices. They are also used by hobbyists, collectors, and researchers in fields such as biology, geology, and archaeology.

Magnifying glasses are available in a range of magnification powers, with higher magnification providing greater enlargement of the object being viewed. Some magnifying glasses also come with built-in lighting to illuminate the object being viewed and make it easier to see.
