The magnification of a handheld magnifying glass varies depending on the model and brand, but generally it can provide a magnification effect of several to several tens of times. This allows users to observe the details of objects more clearly, such as the antennae of insects and the cellular structure of plants. Meanwhile, the handheld magnifying glass also has a wide field of view, allowing users to maintain a comfortable viewing angle while observing.

Magnifying glasses have a wide range of applications in daily life and scientific research. In the field of education, teachers often use magnifying glasses to showcase the wonders of the microscopic world, such as biological and mineral samples, in order to stimulate students' interest and curiosity in learning. In scientific research, a magnifying glass is also one of the important tools, which can help scientists observe and analyze microstructures, and reveal the mysteries of nature.

The working principle of a magnifying glass is based on the focusing effect of a convex lens. When light passes through a convex lens, due to the different curvatures on both sides of the lens, the light refracts inside the lens, causing the light to converge towards the central axis of the lens. When we place an object within the focal length of a magnifying glass, the light emitted by the object refracts through the lens, forming a magnified virtual image on the other side of the lens. The size of this virtual image depends on the focal length of the magnifying glass and the distance from the object to the lens.

A magnifying glass, also known as a convex lens, is a simple optical device used to observe small details of an object. Its main feature is that the middle is thick and the edges are thin, which allows light to refract when passing through it, thereby achieving an amplification effect. A magnifying glass is a powerful optical device that opens the door to the microscopic world with its unique amplification function, allowing us to observe details that are difficult to detect with the naked eye.

When using a magnifying glass, whether handheld or desktop, it is necessary to maintain stability in order to observe clear images. Therefore, it is important to avoid shaking or moving during use. Different magnifying glasses have different focal lengths, and the focal length needs to be adjusted according to the actual situation to achieve the best magnification effect.
