Astronomy CCD Calculator
Find approximate pixel scale and geometric full-sensor sky field.
Open toolMacro Magnification Calculator
Find macro reproduction ratio from sensor width and corresponding field width at the subject. Provide Sensor width (mm), Object width filling that sensor width (mm) to compute results directly in your browser. Magnification=sensor width/object field width using the same dimension and units. Assumes frame filled across that dimension; not digital zoom or enlarged screen/print magnification. Inputs and results use floating-point numbers; output shows up to 12 significant digits. Rounding can occur.

Macro Magnification Calculator Quick Reference & Input Guide
Review the input parameters, allowed value ranges, and worked reference cases for the Macro Magnification Calculator below before running your calculation.
| Parameter / Scenario | Default / Sample Value | Rule or Allowed Range | Output / Usage Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Input: Sensor width (mm) | 36 | Range: 1e-09 to 1000000000.0 | Required workspace parameter |
| Input: Object width filling that sensor width (mm) | 72 | Range: 1e-09 to 1000000000.0 | Required workspace parameter |
| Worked Case 1: Baseline run (Sensor width (mm) = 36) | Preloaded / test values | Find macro reproduction ratio from sensor width and corresponding field width at the subject | Sensor width (mm) = 36; Object width filling that sensor width (mm) = 72. The displayed output is 0.5 times. |
| Worked Case 2: Comparison scenario (macro lens magnification calculator) | Preloaded / test values | Find macro reproduction ratio from sensor width and corresponding field width at the subject | Sensor width (mm) = 24; Object width filling that sensor width (mm) = 12. The displayed output is 2 times. |

Practical Worked Examples for Macro Magnification Calculator
These concrete scenarios illustrate how the Macro Magnification Calculator processes baseline inputs, comparison checks, and boundary constraints.
Baseline run (Sensor width (mm) = 36)
Sensor width (mm) = 36; Object width filling that sensor width (mm) = 72. The displayed output is 0.5 times.
Comparison scenario (macro lens magnification calculator)
Sensor width (mm) = 24; Object width filling that sensor width (mm) = 12. The displayed output is 2 times.
Boundary & unit check (Macro Magnification Calculator)
When solving for 'macro magnification calculator', verify that Sensor width (mm), Object width filling that sensor width (mm) use consistent units and stay within the documented scope: Magnification=sensor width/object field width using the same dimension and units. Assumes frame filled across that dimension; not digital zoom or enlarged screen/print magnification. Inputs and results use floating-point numbers; output shows up to 12 significant digits. Rounding can occur.
How to Read and Verify the Macro Magnification Calculator Output
The output panel reports the exact result derived from Sensor width (mm), Object width filling that sensor width (mm) alongside any unit or formatting notes.
The result is the sensor-to-subject reproduction ratio. Calculate a macro reproduction ratio from a measured field width.
The result describes image size on the sensor rather than digital zoom or enlargement on a screen or print.
Numerical output shows up to 12 significant digits. Floating-point arithmetic and display rounding can affect the last digits.
- Example input
- Sensor width (mm) = 36; Object width filling that sensor width (mm) = 72
- Example output
- 0.5 times
