Rules of Magnification.

  • The stronger the power of the magnifier the closer you must be to the object being viewed and the smaller the field of view. Select a desk magnifier that provides good magnification at a comfortable reading or work distance(usually about 10 to 12 inches). To strong may be to close.
  • A magnifier will decrease light transmission. Either provide your own adequate lighting or select a desk magnifier with light. A lighted desktop magnifier provides a sharper and clearer image.
  • For best desk magnifier results wear your glasses.
  • A Fresnel lens desk mounted magnifier will magnify a whole page. A convex lens desk magnifier will magnify a smaller area but can have higher powers.
