Due to their high reflectance and ability to be engineered for specific wavelengths, dielectric mirrors are widely used in various optical applications. These include laser systems, where they are used to direct light, spectral filters in imaging systems, and optical instruments requiring efficient, narrowband reflectors.

Magnifiers of 2x, 3x or 4x are most suitable for reading documents, and general inspection tasks. Products such as the Eschenbach mobilux magnifier 3.5x are popular for their portability and large lens.

Digital magnifiers are popular as low vision aids and also in industrial applications such as quality control. These portable video magnifiers have large screen displays with bright and high contrast.

All magnifiers are a compromise between the level of magnification and the size of image which can be seen (called Field of View).

A dielectric mirror, also known as a Bragg mirror, is a type of mirror composed of multiple thin layers of dielectric material, usually deposited on a substrate. These mirrors are designed to reflect certain wavelengths of light while allowing others to pass through. The dielectric layers have different refractive indices and are stacked in such a way that they create constructive interference for particular wavelengths, leading to very high reflectance at those wavelengths.

Bench mounted magnifiers with large lenses and low magnification between 1.75x & 2.25x are designed for inspection tasks, such as inspecting circuit boards and mechanical parts, as well as beautician, dental and jewellery applications.

Indeed the perfect magnifier would have a large lens, provide a wide viewing area, and offer high, distortion-free magnification, as well as being low in cost.

Increasing magnification power makes the magnifier less convenient to use as the lens diameter, field of view and working distance all decrease. Usually, it is best to choose low power for reading or viewing larger surfaces and high power for inspecting small areas.

The most common questions we receive are about magnification and finding the right level for the task or application. We are frequently asked for a higher power magnifier, one with greater magnification, but also with a large lens.

The smaller field of view that comes with a 7x or greater magnification are recommended for inspection of very fine details, such as the range from PEAK. Most magnifiers in this category are designed to rest on the object being inspected. From 7x magnification the eye to lens distance has to be really close, for this reason this level of magnification is not recommended for reading.

All magnifiers with magnification power above 4x have a round lens, not rectangular, and a smaller field of view. Magnifiers with 5x only allow to read at best 3 words at a time.

In summary, the reflectance of a dielectric mirror is typically very high for the designed wavelength range and depends on multiple factors, including the number and thickness of the layers, the refractive indices, and the angle of incidence. By tailoring these parameters, dielectric mirrors can achieve near-total reflection for particular applications.

For more comfort, or reading over long periods of time, a stand magnifier may be used such as the Eschenbach Vario, which rests on the surface, or on the document.

Reflectance is a measure of how much light is reflected by a surface. For dielectric mirrors, the reflectance can be very high, often 99% or more, for specific wavelengths and incident angles. This is due to the constructive interference between the reflected light waves from the different interfaces between the dielectric layers.

What is Dioptre? Magnifiers often have their power expressed in Dioptre instead of (or as well as) in magnification. This can be confusing as many people only understand Magnification. However, it is easy to convert dioptre into magnification, simply divide dioptre by 4, then add 1.  For example 5.0 dioptre = 5/4 + 1 = 2.25x. So objects viewed through a 5.0 dioptre lens would appear 225% larger than normal.

However, as eyesight becomes impaired with age and conditions such as macular degeneration, the request for higher magnification increases.
