• The images produced by lenses are usually different sizes from the objects.
• If the image is larger than the object, the magnification factor is greater than 1.

• If an instrument has several lenses, the magnification factors are multiplied together to get the total magnification.
• Telescopes and microscopes are examples of instruments where the magnification factors are combined.

• Binoculars are basically a pair of telescopes.
– In this case, the magnification factor is the same for each side of the binocular.
• Cameras also use several lenses.
