How the pocket magnifier is used
Two lenses mounted in a folding frame let the user change magnification without changing instruments. Each lens alone works as a simple magnifier. Placed one over the other, the lenses act together with a shorter combined focal length, because the powers of thin lenses in contact add, so the image grows from 5X to 10X.
Because it closes to roughly 55 mm, the magnifier fits in a pocket, which makes it a practical choice for nature walks, geology excursions and biology field work as well as bench use.
- Open the magnifier out of its attached case.
- Start with one lens at 5X and hold it close to the eye.
- Bring the specimen or text into focus by moving it towards or away from the lens.
- For finer detail, swing the second lens over the first to obtain 10X and refocus at a shorter distance.
- Fold the lenses back into the case after use.
