 Rules Of Magnification.   

• The higher the power of the lens, the closer you must get to the object and the smaller the field of view.
• 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. The terms power(X) Diopter(D) are sometimes confused.
• High power magnifiers such 3X must be held steady or else they will be out of focus
