2 unusual facts about Magnification


Magnification

When measuring the height of an inverted image using the cartesian sign convention (where the x-axis is the optical axis) the value for hi will be negative, and as a result M will also be negative.

Minification

Magnification, by a factor of less than one, producing a smaller image


Canon EF 50mm lens

The EF 50mm f/2.5 Compact Macro is a relatively inexpensive macro lens with a minimum focusing distance of 23cm (9 inches) offering a maximum magnification of 0.5x actual size.

Dancing in the Rain

The director also participated in the choice of other materials included on the DVD: film trailers, excerpts from Enfant Terrible (1993) - the documentary portrait of Boštjan Hladnik directed by Damjan Kozole, excerpts from the television show Povečava ("Magnification", 1991) directed by Franci Slak, and excerpts from the documentary portrait of the actor Miha Baloh (1998) directed by Slavko Hren.

Diagnostic electron microscopy

The transmission electron microscope (TEM) is used as an important diagnostic tool to screen human tissues at high magnification (the ultrastructural level), often in conjunction with other methods, particularly light microscopy and immunofluorescence techniques.

Field of view

In astronomy the field of view is usually expressed as an angular area viewed by the instrument, in square degrees, or for higher magnification instruments, in square arc-minutes.

Fly from Here

Their first studio album since Magnification (2001), it is also the only one to feature Canadian singer Benoît David, and only the second album (after 1980's Drama) without former singer Jon Anderson and with keyboardist Geoff Downes.

HPF

High power field, the field visible through a microscope on the highest magnification setting

Hqx

In image processing, hqx ("hq" stands for "high quality" and "x" stands for magnification) is one of the pixel art scaling algorithms developed by Maxim Stepin, used in emulators such as Nestopia, FCEUX, higan, Snes9x, ZSNES and many more.

Konrad Klapheck

Influenced by Duchamp, Man Ray, and Max Ernst, Klapheck's "ironic treatment of everyday mechanics" prefigures Pop art in its magnification of the trivial.

Magnifier

Video magnifier, an electronic device used for optical magnification

Magnifying glass

A Coddington magnifier provides higher magnification with improved image quality.

The Ultimate Yes: 35th Anniversary Collection

With a range of material from 1969's Yes to 2001's Magnification - and beyond - The Ultimate Yes: 35th Anniversary Collection supplants earlier non-box set retrospectives such as Classic Yes and Yesstory.
