Increasing magnification increases the size of the object's image on the retina of the eye, making it appear larger. This is due to the fact that the magnifying lens bends light rays to converge them closer together, which increases the size of the object's image that is formed on the retina.
Magnification is an enlargement of the specimen which looks bigger as the magnification increases. Resolution is the the smallest increment available. The difference between these can be explained with the example of a ruler that has 1/8" markings. Magnification will make the separation of the markings look bigger, but the resolution of the ruler doesn't change, the markings are still 1/8" apart. However, magnification can improve the resolution because you can now see things bigger. For example the separation between the markings of the ruler could be divided down even more under magnification.

When you view an object through a hand lens, light rays entering the lens are bent inward, making the object appear larger than it actually is. This magnification effect occurs because the lens converges the light rays, which increases the apparent size of the object when viewed through the lens.
A magnifying lens, also known as a convex lens, can make objects look bigger by bending light rays to converge at a point, creating a larger image. This type of lens is commonly used in magnifying glasses, microscopes, and telescopes to achieve magnification.
The word "enlarged" can mean made bigger, or just made to look bigger (as with a magnifying glass. Small things can also be expanded, increased, amplified, magnified, or inflated.
It is a way of saying how much bigger the object appears. If you look at your thumb through a lens with an ocular magnification of 20x, your thumb will look twenty times bigger.
magnification:-magnification is increase in the size of an object resolution:-resolution is power of a microscope to distinguish between two objects.Higher the resolution easier it will be to see between the two pints
The magnification of the lens.

The magnification indicates how much bigger something will be seen. For example, with the naked eye, the Moon has an angular diameter of half a degree; with a 40x magnification, it will look like it has 20 degrees.

A tool you hold against your eye to make objects look bigger
When you view an object through a hand lens, light rays entering the lens are bent inward, making the object appear larger than it actually is. This magnification effect occurs because the lens converges the light rays, which increases the apparent size of the object when viewed through the lens.
The object seems to us like we are seeing with our naked eyes and it is in front of us but it is near to objective lens which has high magnification power through which it made the size of object very big than real one.
If an object remains unchanged but appears to increase in size, we might apply the term macropsia to the phenomenon. The object just "looks" bigger for whatever reason. Things that affect an individual can affect that observer's perception. Additionally, there can be circumstances changing in the visual field that may contribute to an object's appearing to get larger. The moon tends to look larger near the horizon than higher in the sky is an example.
Increasing the magnification on a light microscope will decreased the diameter of the field of view. You are essentially looking closer and closer at the objects. For example: Using your hand (thumb to fingertips), create a circle as if holding a telescope. Hold your hand-telescope up to one eye and look through it at your screen. Now, move closer to the computer screen... The size of the field you are able to see gets smaller...that's what happens with a microscope lens. As you increase the magnification, the lens gets closer to the specimen.
