An optical magnifying device employing fiber optics. When functioning as a microscope, the object plane is defined by and divided into sub-areas by the input termini of many coherent fiber bundles. Each output terminal of each bundle is provided with an objective lens which projects onto an image plane. When used as a microfiche reader, a first magnifying stage is provided, and this (first) image is in turn further magnified in the same manner. Microfiche characters of 2 micron size may be resolved by the entire system.
