Magnifier Information
Rules Of Magnification. - The higher the power of the benchtop
magnifier lens, the closer you must get to the object being viewed.
- As the power of a lens increases, the diameter of the lens
decreases.
- Diopter is a term used
to determine the power(magnification)of a lens.

lens. The higher the power of the magnifier the smaller the field of view. Diopter: Diopter is a measurement that is used to calculate the power
of a magnifying lens. The higher diopter will provide higher magnification. Diopter is expressed as "D" Power: Power is how large an object or print increases as you look through a lens. Magnifying power is expressed as "X" Focal Length: Measurement from the center of the lens to to the object and
be in focus. Focal Range: The distance from the magnifying lens to the object being viewed.
