How Does a Toy Monocular Work?

Article Category: Parenting

Author Name: Winnie Peckleford

As compared to the more complex workings inside a pair of binoculars, a toy monocular takes on a simpler set of devices to achieve magnification.

Because it only uses one barrel for one eye, there are only two lenses within the monocular. These lenses allow the device to make things seem larger if one looks through the eyepiece.

Initially, when light bounces off an object, we perceive its actual dimensions as it is without the assistance of any lenses. Through a monocular, the light that bounces off the object goes through a certain process that makes it seem bigger.

When the light from the object goes through the first lens, the light rays flip. The light rays reflected from the top part of the object are reflected downward and the rays that were originally downward are directed upward.

With only one lens, the user would see an upside-down image of the object. Despite this change in orientation, the image is already magnified due to the shape and the thickness of the first lens. When the light from the object meets the lens, the material of the lens causes the rays to bend and change direction. This is what causes the magnification.

However, when users take a look through the toy monocular, it's right-side up. The finished image is caused by the second lens known as the eyepiece.

From the first lens, the upside down image goes through the second lens. It is a smaller and thinner lens that merely fixes the refraction done by the first lens, but maintains the magnification of the object. The light rays do one more flip through the eyepiece and then reach the retina of the user who is looking through the monocular.

The adjustable magnification of a toy monocular is achieved by allowing the first lens to move farther from the eyepiece. The longer the light rays travel from the first lens to the eyepiece, the smaller the image becomes. If the lenses are brought closer to each other, then the light rays would have travelled a shorter distance before reaching the retina. This is what allows monocular owners to adjust the amount of magnification they want.

Any toy monocular will come with a measurement that you can see around the frame. It is described by two numbers. An example of this is 10x25. In this example, the number 10 refers to the number of times you can magnify something through the monocular. The second number, 25, pertains to the diameter of the first lens that performs the first refraction mentioned above. The larger the numbers are, the more powerful the scope.

10x25 is a standard for most models of monocular. The more powerful ones range above 100 with large lens diameters to accommodate larger objects or scenes.

When selecting a monocular to use, keep in mind that the larger the lens, the more light it can refract. This might cause eyestrain if one is subjected too long to a magnified image. Always use a monocular in moderation in order to avoid putting too much stress on the retina.
