Simplified closed circuit television magnifier for the partially sighted.
Although the use of closed circuit television (CCTV) magnifiers is now well established, the instruments tend to be bulky, complex and expensive. A magnifier is described which consists of a miniature TV camera used as a hand-held scanner, which can be plugged into a wide variety of monitors and television sets.
