magnification
Magnification is the process of enlarging the size of something, often through the use of an optical device like a microscope or telescope. In optics, it indicates the degree to which an object is enlarged by a lens or mirror relative to its actual size. It can also refer to the measure of how much larger an image appears compared to the original object.

Magnification
Magnification is the process of enlarging something only in appearance, not in physical size. This enlargement is quantified by a calculated number also called "magnification". When this number is less than one it refers to a reduction in size, sometimes called "minification" or "de-magnification". Typically magnification is related to scaling up visuals or images to be able to see more detail, increasing resolution, using microscope, printing techniques, or digital processing. In all cases, the magnification of the image does not change the perspective of the image.
