Amazing!

Is it possible to use square magnifying glass to get to 7-8 inch or even 14? I want to make old school vibe amber color mini computer with a PI, and was thinking of using either 5" spi or one of the smaller ones 3.5 or so.

PS: we have been bombarded with AI so much that I misread the title as 'AI monitor for PI' :)



You can use a fresnel magnifier to accomplish this, but it will not manufacture more photons, so the bigger you make the magnified image, the dimmer it will appear.


Thanks thats what I was looking for, wasn't sure how it is called :)
