The Equivalent Power of a stand magnifier (the equivalent spectacle lens power) is the Transverse Magnification (TM), also called the Enlargement Ratio, multiplied by I meter/Eye-to-image distance (aE) in meters. Therefore, EP=(TM)*(l /aE). The Transverse Magnification (-FM) of a stand magnifier is the Lens-to-image distance (s') / Lens-to-Object distance (s). Therefore, TM=s'/s.
