Unlike regular magnifiers that enlarge images because they are curved, fresnel magnifiers are flat sheets with multiple small ridges that cumulatively magnify. Because each ridge produces a separate magnifying field that overlaps with the adjoining one, the end result may not be quite as sharp as equivalent magnification from a single lens. However, an advantage is the fact that fresnel magnifiers can have larger surfaces that make them useful for enlarging broader areas such as pages or even TV and computer monitors. Their magnification power is usually about 2X. 2X Full Page (7 x 10 inches) #454444 Unframed $1.99 #454450 2X Rigid Unframed $7.95 Framed Full Page (7 x 10 inches) #454447 $3.25 Deluxe Page Size on Legs (7 x 10 inches) #570284 $9.95 2X Lens on Adjustable Bookstand: This very well constructed unit holds just about any size book at the angle that best suits the reader.
