What is the instrument that makes small things appear bigger?

Answer 1

There are several instruments which serve this basic function. Telescopes make faraway objects, like comets and planets, seem closer. Magnifiers (or magnifying glasses) are lenses (usually a single lens) which enlarges the appearance of a smaller object to make it easier to see. A microscope is an instrument design to make tiny or microscopic objects visible to the naked eye at close range. A jeweler's loupe is a handheld magnifier specially designed to allow people to closely examine gemstones, especially diamonds, and read tiny purity stamps on gold and sterling silver jewelry. Concave mirrors, such as those found in fun houses at amusement parks, can make something (like your own body) appear bigger.
