Coddington magnifier
A Coddington magnifier is a magnifying glass consisting of a single very thick lens with a central deep groove diaphragm at the ''equator'', thus limiting the rays to those close to the axis, which again minimizes spherical aberration. This allows for greater magnification than a conventional magnifying glass, typically 10× up to 20×. Most single lens magnifiers are limited to 5× or so before significant distortion occurs. The drawback is that the diaphragm groove reduces the area seen through the magnifier.
== History ==
In 1812 William Hyde Wollaston introduced a much improved version of the earliest magnifiers consisting of a spherical glass by employing two hemispheres of glass mounted together with a small stop between them. Sir David Brewster found that Wollaston's form worked best when the two lenses were hemispheres and the central space was filled up with a transparent cement having the same refractive index as the glass. He therefore used a sphere from a single piece of glass with a deep groove cut in it.〔(''An Introduction To Applied Optics, Volume II'' ), L. C. Martin, Sir Isaac Pitman & Sons, Ltd, London, 1932.〕 In 1829, Henry Coddington brought the Wollaston-Brewster lens into general notice, and further refined the design by modifying the shape of the groove, though Coddington laid no claim to being its inventor.〔(''History of Science'' ), Williams, Book 4, chapter V〕
