[QUOTE="sophiecentaur, post: 5953841, member: 199289"] Have you tried googling "Magnifying glass"? It's all a matter of where the object is placed whether you get an inverted real image or an upright virtual image*. The first magnifying lenses were, indeed, all they had as a microscope. But to get strong magnification that way, you need a tiny objective and it kills your eyes. Using a second (eyepiece) lens makes things a lot easier. *A convex lens can give magnification in both cases but, used as projector, it produces a dim, magnified image. (Compare the brightness of a projector lamp and the image as it appears on the screen). [/QUOTE]
