- increase in size, volume or significance; "Her terror was magnified in her mind"
- overstate: to enlarge beyond bounds or the truth; "tended to romanticize and exaggerate this `gracious Old South' imagery"
- blow up: make large; "blow up an image"
- (magnification) the act of expanding something in apparent size
- (magnification) the ratio of the size of an image to the size of the object
- (magnification) exaggeration: making to seem more important than it really is
- Magnify is the fourth studio album from Christian rock band Remedy Drive, and the last album to originally be released under the moniker of Remedy; later pressings of the album have altered to say Remedy Drive.
- (Magnification (album)) Magnification is the seventeenth album by progressive rock band Yes, released in 2001. It was the band's first album of the new century, and their second with a full orchestra (the first being Time and a Word from 1970).
- (Magnification (psychology)) Make a mountain out of a molehill or over-reaction is to make too much of a minor issue. In cognitive psychology, this form of cognitive distortion is called magnification.
- Magnified is the second studio album by the American rock band Failure. Magnified differs greatly from Failure's debut album Comfort using a great deal of bass guitar distortion. ...
- To make an object appear larger so one can see it in more detail, such as with a magnifying glass or a telescope; To make a situation or an idea appear greater or more important than it is
- (Magnification (Power)) Binoculars are often referred to by two numbers separated by an "x". For example: 8 x 32. The first number is the power or magnification of the binocular. ...
- (Magnification) The factor by which the apparent angular size of an object is increased by the telescope
- (Magnification) Factor by which the image is enlarged. For a telescope, it is the ratio of the focal length of the objective to the focal length of the eyepiece.
- (Magnification) The height of the image divided by the height of the object. The apparent enlargement of an object by an optical instrument.
- (magnification) How much a microscope enlarges an image; the increase of an object's apparent size.
- (Magnification) The magnifying power of the lens. Four power (4X) indicates that the image will appear four times larger than if viewed with a 1X lens.
- (Magnification) (enlargement) Enlargement of the structures imaged on a radiograph over the actual size. Enlargement is greatest when the target of an x-ray machine is closer to the structures of interest, and is decreased when distance is greater.
- (Magnification) 0.84X (with 50 mm f1.4 standard lens)
- (Magnification) How big an object looks through optics, as opposed to the naked eye. Example: using 10x binoculars will make an animal standing 1000 yards away look like he is only 100 yards away. (1000/10 = 100)
- (Magnification) How many times an object is enlarged by looking through your binoculars. (Example: a pair of 10×40 specs would magnify an object 10 times its natural size)
- (Magnification) In the context of leg length measurement magnification occurs in radiological techniques in which the x-ray beams passing through the measurement points are divergent. This results in the absolute measurement on the x-ray being greater than that in the limb.
- (Magnification) The amount of lateral enlarging produced by an interferometric microscope objective.
- (Magnification) The ratio of angular size with and without an optical device. With 10X magnification, an object appears ten times as broad. Equivalently, it appears to be at one-tenth the distance.
- (Magnification) The visual increase of size that is created by an amplifier. In systems where the air amplifier has adjustable magnification, this is accomplished by adjusting the flow or back-pressure within the amplifier to agree with the master sizes. ...
