HAND GLASSES Meaning and
Definition
-
Hand glasses, also known as hand lenses or magnifying glasses, are handheld optical instruments designed to magnify small objects or details for closer examination. They consist of a small, convex lens mounted in a frame that can be easily held in the hand. Hand glasses are commonly used in a variety of fields such as science, jewelry making, art, and archaeology.
These glasses are primarily used to enhance the visibility of objects that are too small to be seen clearly with the naked eye. The lens in the frame is designed to bend light rays, offering a magnified and clearer view of the object being observed. The convex shape of the lens helps to enlarge the image while maintaining focus.
Hand glasses typically have a short focal length to produce significant magnification. They are often portable and lightweight, making them convenient for fieldwork or everyday use. They can be made from various materials including glass or plastic, and some models may also incorporate additional features such as illumination or a foldable design for easy storage.
In addition to their scientific applications, hand glasses are commonly used for reading small print, examining insects or plants, appraising gemstones, or inspecting artwork. They provide a simple and accessible way to explore and study objects with enhanced clarity and detail.
