Convenient Formula for Lantern Projection or Enlargement and 

 Reduction. 



Let D be the distance of the screen, and d the distance of the object 

 from the optical centre of the lens, F the equivalent focus of the lens, M 

 the magnifying power or ' number of times ' for enlargement or reduction, 

 then 



Example : It is required to project by a lens of 6 inches equivalent 

 focus a slide having a 3-inch mask so that it may give a 10-ft. disc, what 

 must be the distance of the screen ? Here M the magnification will be 

 40 times. D = F (M + 1) = 6 (40 + 1) = 246 inches = 20 feet. 



Note, in a double combination the optical centre may be assumed to 

 be half way between the lenses. To reduce, interchange the object and the 

 screen.

For the screw of the objective and nose-piece the Society supply, at 

 cost price, a sizing die and plug, also screw chasers. They do not, how- 

 ever, supply standard screw gauges. Full particulars regarding the 

 screw will be found in the E.M.S. Journal,' 1896, p. 389.
