• The stronger the power of book magnifier with or stand magnifier the closer you must be to the object being viewed and the smaller the field of view.

• Select a stand 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 stand magnifier with light. A lighted stand magnifier provides a sharper and clearer image.

• For best stand magnifier results wear your glasses.

• A Fresnel lens stand magnifier will magnify a large area. A convex lens stand magnifier will magnify a smaller area but can have higher powers.

Field Of View: The size of the area being magnified when viewing through a magnifier 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 magnifier   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. Magnifier 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 magnifier lens to the object being viewed.

Rules Of Magnification.   

• The higher the power of the lens, the closer you must get to the object being viewed 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 are sometimes confused.
