A magnifying lens is a convex lens made of either glass or some other transparent material that is used to magnify and concentrate light. When used with sunlight it can be used to ignite [[tinder]].

I carry a credit-card sized fresnel lens in my wallet. Why not?

==Types Of Lens==

===Traditional===
Traditional convex lenses are available in both framed and unframed versions. These are effective, but heavy and fragile.

===Fresnel===
Fresnel lenses are thinner, lighter, and are often made of more durable materials such as plastic or acrylic.

Fresnel lenses are powerful and can concentrate the power of the sun.
