Description
A magnifying glass (called a hand lens in laboratory contexts) is a convex lens that is used to produce
a magnified image of an object. The lens is usually mounted in a frame with a handle (see image).
A sheet magnifier consists of many very narrow concentric ring-shaped lenses, such that the combination acts as a
single lens but is much thinner. This arrangement is known as a Fresnel lens.
A magnifying glass can also be used to focus light, such as to concentrate the sun’s radiation to create a hot spot at
the focus for fire starting
