Pupil magnification refers to the phenomenon in optical systems where the apparent size of the pupil in the eye is altered due to the optics of an instrument, such as a microscope, telescope, or camera. It is particularly relevant in fields like ophthalmology and vision science, where understanding how optical systems interact with the visual system is essential. In practical terms, pupil magnification can be described in the context of how an optical device projects a scene through its optics to the observer's eye.
