LOOP) is a simple, small magnification device used to see small details more closely. They generally have higher magnification than a magnifying glass...

magnification. A compound microscope uses a system of lenses (one set enlarging the image produced by another) to achieve a much higher magnification...

usually mounted in a frame with a handle. Beyond its primary function of magnification, this simple yet ingenious tool serves a variety of purposes. It can...

this often means the shooter has to dial down the magnification somewhat (i.e. to 10× magnification). To succeed at long range shooting, one must have...
