Howdo magnifying glassesworkfor Kids

Higher zoom lens is used when you shoot something small or from far distance. As you zoom to higher magnifications, the image dims since the amount of light entering lens decreases the more you zoom in. The same applies in the case when fast shutter speed is needed, such as photographing high-pace sport. The faster the shutter speed, the shorter the time image sensor is exposed to light, and the darker the resulting photograph.

However, aspheric lenses are not free from problems. Aspheric lenses tends to be more difficult to be manufactured by conventional fabrication prosess such as grinding and polishing, since aspheric lens elements are more complex than spherical ones. Consequently, aspheric lenses had not been widely applied.

Aspheric lens has a non-spherical lens surface. The main advantage of aspheric lenses is its ability to correct for spherical aberration. Aspheric lenses allow optical designers to correct aberrations using fewer elements than conventional spherical optics because the former gives them more aberration correction than multiple surfaces of the latter. Given that, smaller amount of aspheric lenses can be substituted for many spherical lenses to achieve similar or better optical results, while reducing system size, simplifying the assembly process, and yielding imaging lenses that ultimately cost less and outperform assemblies made of traditional spherical components.

In the glass forming process, it is necessary for the molding system to purge of oxygen and filled with inert gas, such as nitrogen and argon, in order to avoid detrimental reactions caused by oxygen including a deterioration of molding die and contact-induced glass sticking.

Powers refers to how much larger an object is made to look through a magnifying lens. Power is typically indicated by an X such 2X or 4X.

For lenses made with spherical surfaces, rays which are parallel to the optic axis but at different distances from the optic axis fail to converge to the same point. If the center of the image stay in focus an bright, the edges of the field apprear blurry and dimmeter.

Glass material for molding has additional requirements, such as transparency, excellence in scratch resistance, stability in optical properties in temperature changes, the properties include refractive index, no crystalization or volatile substances occurs while forming, not containing a material which can react with molds, and are free from pollutants, such as lead and arsenic compounds. Glass lens has advantages over the plastic lens on the aspects as shown above, as well as hardness, refractive index, light permeability, stability to environmetal changes in terms of temperature and humidity, although plascic lens can be mass-produced at a low cost. Furthermore, for the convenience of users, providing a wide variety of glass materials for molding is important to meet customers’ needs.

Recently, SUMITA manufactures not only molded aspheric lenses but also molded diffraction gratings, microlens arrays and other surfaces microstructures. The surface profile of the molded lenses can be precisely controlled by changing the applied gas pressure. SUMITA’s ‘Vacuum Osvvesita’ is the optimum glass molding machine for research and development and a small lot production.

Aspheric lenses have non-spherical shapes, and have a more complex front surface, such as ellips, parabola, hyberbola, quadric, as well as toric which resembles a section of the surface of a rugby ball or a doughnut.

Lenses are used when magnifying tiny or distant objects to help us see more detail. Also, a camera lens is used to make images of objects either on photographic films or on other media. Traditional simple lenses are spherical lenses, one or both sides are concave/convex or one of the surface is flat, and their shapes are often made by grinding and polishing. Disadvantages of Spherical Lens Higher zoom lens is used when you shoot something small or from far distance.

If the center of the image stay in focus an bright, the edges of the field apprear blurry and dimmeter. How is Spherical Aberration Corrected? Spherical aberration is typically minimized by combination of multiple lenses into an optical assembly. Also, by using fewer aspheric lenses instead of a greater number of conventional spherical lenses can reduce or eliminate the aberration. Aspheric Lens Which can Reduce or Eliminate Spherical Aberration Aspheric lens has a non-spherical lens surface. The main advantage of aspheric lenses is its ability to correct for spherical aberration.

Aspheric lenses tends to be more difficult to be manufactured by conventional fabrication prosess such as grinding and polishing, since aspheric lens elements are more complex than spherical ones. Consequently, aspheric lenses had not been widely applied. As an alternative approach, aspheric lenses can be manufactured by glass molding process: a preform or near-net-shape glass is introduced to heated molds within a molding machine, pressed by two mold halves, then the formed lens is cooled down and released from the molds. Glass molding is as an effective approach to produce precision optical elements with complex shapes at high production efficiency. Once the mold is finished, the incremental cost for each lens is lower than that of standard manufacturing techniques for aspheres, making this technique a great option for high volume production. Glass molding had an issue that arise from the very high-temperature for softening of a glass, which can deteriorate the molding easily and shorten the service life of molds. Requiring high temperature also means it takes time to heat and cool down the mold. Thus, the development of low softening temperature optical glasses for molding had been expected for a long time.

Considering these requirements, SUMITA successfully developed a new glass material for molding, ‘K-PG325 Super Vidron’ with low softening temperature at 325 ℃ (617 ℉) in 2002. Since then, SUMITA has been developed a wide variety of glass materials for molding. Also, a preform has improved. Conventionally, a lens preform, shaped in ball, disc or near-net, generated out of raw glass by grinding and polishing processes. A gob preform, a firepolished preform produced directly from the melt without any additional surface processing, has developed and commercialized. For many years, SUMITA has been a reliable supplier for precision gob preforms made of glass materials for molding. Glass Modling Machine In order to cost effectively manufacture of the lens, heating and cooling cycle is optimized for the fastest possible cycle time. There is a series of additional requirements which must be considered to produce high precision molded aspherical lenses, including control of temperature and pressing load in a high accuracy, and the uniformity of temperature in glass, since non-uniformity of temperature in glass will cause distortion.

NB:  As you increase the magnification the lens size effectively decreases. It is not possible to get a high power lens in a large diameter. Opticical combinations are a compromise for  the “ideal” magnifier.

Whatdoesa magnifying glass do to light

Diopter refers to the curvature of the lens. As the diopter increases, the lens become thicker and the curvature greater. As the curvature increases, light rays are redirected to fill a greater portion of the viewer’s retina which makes the object look bigger.

Lenses are used when magnifying tiny or distant objects to help us see more detail. Also, a camera lens is used to make images of objects either on photographic films or on other media. Traditional simple lenses are spherical lenses, one or both sides are concave/convex or one of the surface is flat, and their shapes are often made by grinding and polishing.

Acrylic lenses are used as an alternative to glass lenses. They are usually very lightweight compared to glass lenses. Acrylic is the common name for Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), a thermoplastic or transparent plastic, created in 1928. Its composition normally prevents breakage and shattering and it is normally scratch-resistant. With modern technology, it has become possible to produce magnifiers with exceptional optical qualities using an acrylic lens. A majority of today’s magnifier lenses come with a high quality acrylic lens

A magnifier (i.e. magnifying lens) is a lens or combination of lenses used to magnify (or enlarge) an object. Magnifiers and magnifying glasses enable people to magnify a variety of objects (e.g. books, newspapers, fine print, stamps, coins, antiques, art, jewelry, gemstones, foliage, insects, and rocks). The magnifying glass was invented in 1250 by Roger Bacon. Today, over 750 years later, magnifiers and magnifying glasses are more popular than ever, assisting people with hobbies and crafts and also helping people with low vision, macular degeneration or other vision conditions to see better.When it comes to magnifiers, most people probably think of the classic hand-held magnifying glass used by Sherlock Holmes. However magnifiers come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and magnifications. At Blaxall Optics Vision, we stock over 250 different magnifiers! In addition to Hand-Held Magnifiers, we also carry Hands-Free Magnifiers, Lighted Magnifiers, Page, Bar & Dome Magnifiers, Loupes, Linen Testers & Stand Magnifiers, Pocket Magnifiers, Reading, Specialty Glasses & Monoculars, Magnifying Mirrors, Portable Microscopes, Opera Glasses & Binoculars,  Each of the magnifiers in these categories meets different magnification needs. In order to select the best type of magnifier to meet your individual magnification needs, please consider the following information. First, we need to discuss and understand three main points -- lens size, magnification, and focal length -- on how magnifiers work. Lens Size The lens size is the optical area of the lens, generally measured in diameters for round lenses or in length and width for rectangular or square lenses. The lens size is a very important component of a magnifier because the lens size needs to be large enough or small enough to use the magnifier effectively. (Some people want the largest lens size possible to see as much of a subject as possible. Other people want a small lens size to enable them to keep the magnifier in their pocket, purse or handbag.) In any case, purchase the magnifier to meet your particular needs. Magnification   Magnification is the process of enlarging an object in visual size, normally through an optical lens. It is the ratio between the apparent size and the true size of the viewed object behind the lens. If an object behind the lens appears ten times larger than its true size, and the object is in focus (i.e. at the proper focal length), the magnification is 10x. Another term used as a measurement of optical power, but different from magnification is diopter. Diopter refers to the optical power (or strength) of the magnifying lens. It is the strength of the magnifying lens measured at one meter. Four diopters (4.0D) represent a 100% increase in magnification or 1x power magnification. A 20 diopter (20.0D) measurement is approximately equal to 5x power magnification. A rough formula to convert from magnification power to diopters is to multiply the magnification power by four. Focal Length Focal length is the distance from the magnifying lens to the object behind the lens when the object is in focus.  The stronger the optical power of the magnifying lens, the shorter the required distance between the magnifier and the object behind the lens.  If you are observing jewelry through a 10x loupe, both the gem and your eye need to be very close to the loupe. However, if you are able to read a book with a 2x hand-held magnifier, the magnifier can be several inches away from the book and your eyes can be several inches away from the 2x hand-held magnifier. Relationship of Lens Size to Magnification Please keep in mind, as the lens size (diameter) of the magnifier lens increases, the magnification power of the magnifier decreases. As the lens size of the magnifier lens decreases, the magnification power of the magnifier increases. This is a result of the amount of curvature in the magnifier (lens). Magnification power is a result of the amount of curvature in the magnifier lens. As the lens size increases, the amount of curvature in the lens decreases, resulting in lower magnification power of the lens. As the lens size decreases, the amount of curvature in the lens increases, resulting in higher magnification power of the lens.  This is why higher magnification lenses are generally smaller in size than lower magnification lenses.Field of View The end result of magnification is to provide you with a magnified “field of view.” The field of view is the area of magnification you see through the lens. Generally, the larger the diameter (or lens area for rectangular or square lenses) of the lens the larger the field of view of the lens. However, not all magnifiers are the same and some have larger fields of view than others. Not all manufacturers identify the field of view as a specification of the magnifier. Types of Lenses Along with understanding the lens size, magnification and focal length, it is important to purchase the appropriate type of material or composition of the optical lens to meet your needs. Magnifier and magnifying glass optical lenses can be made of glass or acrylic (plastic) materials. Each type of lens has advantages and disadvantages when compared to the other. Generally, glass lenses allow more light to be transmitted through the lens and usually have very clear optical qualities. It is hard, but not impossible, to scratch a glass lens. A glass lens is generally heavier than an acrylic lens of the same size.

There is more than one formula to converts the diopter of a lens into its power, we as a company use the common formula: Magnification = (Diopter / 4) +1
