A magnifier is a magnifying glass that magnifies using a convex lens (a lens with thin edges and a thick centre). The shape of a convex or biconvex lens bends the rays inward. This creates and enables a magnified view when viewed through the lens.
Traditional magnifiers have a round lens attached to the frame that holds the lens and a handle that allows the user to hold the lens at a comfortable distance and the lens at the focal length.
