can sheet be used to magnify sunlight?

Good question. Nonetheless, I really do not know. I bought it for my mother-in-law, that lives in Honduras, because it helps her magnify the already big prints even bigger.

Definitely. You can get something burning in a second. I know 'cause I tried it and then wished I hadn't shown my little son. It ended up ok--he focused it on his foot and never tried it again.

I am disappointed in the sheets. It seems I cannot get them placed properly to magnify the way I need without being very cumbersome. I really don't even try to use them anymore. To me, a stronger light works better, especially when trying to work on a page and navigate the magnifying sheet to be where I need it As far as sunlight magnification goes...I haven't a clue...never tied it!

If by magnify sunlight you mean to focus it, i.e. heat something or start a fire - then yes. Even a small credit card sized Fresnel lens will do this and the larger the lens the more sunlight you're focusing, hence greater/faster heat.

I believe this product would work very well reflecting direct sunlight. Having a 1/4 inch bubble wrap middle, covered on both side with a shiny aluminum sheet, it is completely opaque, and should not allow any light to transmit through it. It should work very well for the purpose you intend to use it for.

I bought mine for this use originally. Now it is very dim and absolutely inadequate, I wish I'd never purchased it. I only use it for magnification now as a weak lamp at my desk. (I did post a review.)

Do you mean a sheet of paper that says not to look directly at the light? That is a pretty crazy question. I don't remember that warning, but I am sure it is in there, cause of the threat of frivolous lawsuits. It is very bright- but any flashlight shouldn't be looked at directly. The sun doesn't have a warning about eye damage but I bet everyone has tried looking at it (especially if your Busy Mom tells you not to...) :)

MANUFACTURER RESPONSE: The biggest issue for this use case is going to be backlighting. The microscope only comes with lights from the lens side, so you would have to set up your own backlight solution. This also wouldn't be good for skin cells, but plant cells are usually large enough to view at this magnification.

No, not unless you already have a magnifier. Cheaply made, I do not recommend!

Not really, except that the magnification can vary depending how far you hold it from the book/sheet (or other objects).

Yes, it is bright. . . like sunlight. I use it to see my knitting and sewing projects more clearly.

You can by moving the magnifing sheet farther away from the print and it is larger. It works well for my 91 year old relative.

The useful magnification is about 140x for astronomical purposes. Beyond this you're going to get fuzzy images. Don't be fooled by extravagant claims.

It works at different heights off what you are trying to magnify. There is no magnification if it actually is laying on what you wish to magnify.

I havent used this in a while but im pretty sure the magnified image will not be right side up. This doesnt matter for viewing things in the sky but is not very good for viewing things on the ground. I would choose something else for your purpose...

I just tried doubling a sheet. It doesn't let the light through. Both sides are the same.

It should not be used in the daylight. It is designed to capture moonlight and or starlight, and it also has an infrared light to help in ultra low light conditions for short range night vision.

If You Align The Magnifier Sheet With The Mid-Spine of The Book , Then it Should be quite easy to hold both together. It Will Definitely Work !!

The solar panels can be adjusted up or down different angles to accommodate the sunlight

just for a reading lamp, probably. I wanted it primarily for its magnification. Not good for that. The light produced is more ambient than direct lighting.
