Consider the situation shown in Figure \(\PageIndex{1b}\). The magnifying lens is held a distance \(ℓ\) from the eye, and the image produced by the magnifier forms a distance \(L\) from the eye. We want to calculate the angular magnification for any arbitrary \(L\) and \(ℓ\). In the small-angle approximation, the angular size \(θ_{image}\) of the image is \(h_i/L\). The angular size \(θ_{object}\) of the object at the near point is \(θ_{object}=h_o/25\,cm\). The angular magnification is then

Inserting Equation \ref{eq34} into Equation \ref{eq10} gives us the final equation for the angular magnification of a magnifying lens:

On Saturday in fine fashion, the Arizona Interscholastic Association (AIA) released their official state playoff brackets for the Open Division State Playoffs, which are set to begin this week on Wednesday, February 14th (Valentine's Day). The field is now set, as #1 seeded Perry High School (per the AIA) is set to lead the top seeds for this state playoff bracket. Our #1 overall seeded team is Millennium High School. Both these two top-rated high school programs and many others will begin playoff action this week, and our Arizona Preps' staff will be out in full force this week to bring you our many top individual and team performers and performances on our website and social media outlets and platforms. Stay tuned for the excitement!

To account for the magnification of a magnifying lens, we compare the angle subtended by the image (created by the lens) with the angle subtended by the object (viewed with no lens), as shown in Figure \(\PageIndex{1a}\). We assume that the object is situated at the near point of the eye, because this is the object distance at which the unaided eye can form the largest image on the retina. We will compare the magnified images created by a lens with this maximum image size for the unaided eye. The magnification of an image when observed by the eye is the angular magnification \(M\), which is defined by the ratio of the angle \(θ_{image}\) subtended by the image to the angle \(θ_{object}\) subtended by the object:

The resulting magnification is simply the ratio of the near-point distance to the focal length of the magnifying lens, so a lens with a shorter focal length gives a stronger magnification. Although this magnification is smaller by 1 than the magnification obtained with the image at the near point, it provides for the most comfortable viewing conditions, because the eye is relaxed when viewing a distant object.

From Figure \(\PageIndex{1b}\), we see that the absolute value of the image distance is \(|d_i|=L−ℓ\). Note that \(d_i<0\) because the image is virtual, so we can dispense with the absolute value by explicitly inserting the minus sign:

A jeweler wishes to inspect a 3.0-mm-diameter diamond with a magnifier. The diamond is held at the jeweler’s near point (25 cm), and the jeweler holds the magnifying lens close to his eye.

The apparent size of an object perceived by the eye depends on the angle the object subtends from the eye. As shown in Figure \(\PageIndex{1}\), the object at \(A\) subtends a larger angle from the eye than when it is position at point \(B\). Thus, the object at \(A\) forms a larger image on the retina (see \(OA′\)) than when it is positioned at \(B\) (see \(OB′\)). Thus, objects that subtend large angles from the eye appear larger because they form larger images on the retina.

\[\begin{align} M&= \left(−\dfrac{d_i}{d_o}\right)\left(\dfrac{25\,cm}{L}\right) \\[4pt] &=−d_i\left(\dfrac{1}{f}−\dfrac{1}{d_i}\right)\left(\dfrac{25\,cm}{L}\right) \\[4pt] &= \left(1−\dfrac{d_i}{f}\right)\left(\dfrac{25\,cm}{L}\right) \label{eq10} \end{align} \]

Note that a greater magnification is achieved by using a lens with a smaller focal length. We thus need to use a lens with radii of curvature that are less than a few centimeters and hold it very close to our eye. This is not very convenient. A compound microscope, explored in the following section, can overcome this drawback.

a. The required linear magnification is the ratio of the desired image diameter to the diamond’s actual diameter (Equation \ref{eq15}). Because the jeweler holds the magnifying lens close to his eye and the image forms at his near point, the linear magnification is the same as the angular magnification, so

b. To get an image magnified by a factor of ten, we again solve Equation \ref{eq13} for \(f\), but this time we use \(M=10\). The result is

We need to determine the requisite magnification of the magnifier. Because the jeweler holds the magnifying lens close to his eye, we can use Equation \ref{eq13} to find the focal length of the magnifying lens.

By comparing Equations \ref{eq13} and \ref{eq15}, we see that the range of angular magnification of a given converging lens is

We have seen that, when an object is placed within a focal length of a convex lens, its image is virtual, upright, and larger than the object (see part (b) of this Figure). Thus, when such an image produced by a convex lens serves as the object for the eye, as shown in Figure \(\PageIndex{2}\), the image on the retina is enlarged, because the image produced by the lens subtends a larger angle in the eye than does the object. A convex lens used for this purpose is called a magnifying glass or a simple magnifier.

Note that all the quantities in this equation have to be expressed in centimeters. Often, we want the image to be at the near-point distance (e.g., \(L=25\,cm\)) to get maximum magnification, and we hold the magnifying lens close to the eye (\(ℓ=0\)). In this case, Equation \ref{eq12} gives
