Enter the distance of the object from the lens and the distance the image is formed from the lens to determine the Magnification. This calculator can also determine the image distance or object distance if the other values are known.

Collimatedbeam

To calculate a magnification magnitude, divide the distance of the image created by the lens from the distance of the object to the lens.

Magnification is the process of a lens refracting an image onto a surface and is defined as the ratio of the distance from the image to the distance from the object.

Laser collimation

Magnification is the process of a lens refracted the image of an object onto a surface where it’s large than the object itself.

Light source or beam whose rays are parallel. Lasers generate collimated light beams, and lenses can be used to collimate light.
