A portable magnification stand includes a lower inner plane area surrounded by and held in place by a lower coplanar support material. A back pair of adjustable arms and a front pair of adjustable arms are mounted to the lower planar base unit and an upper planar lens unit that holds a lens for magnifying objects. The back pair of adjustable arms are longer than the front pair of adjustable arms causing the magnification of objects to appear greater near the front portion of the upper planar lens unit compared with objects near the near the back portion of the upper planar lens unit. Swingable extensions shaped as trapezoidal planar materials can be used in lieu of the adjustable arms to provide the appropriate magnification in a more compact and lighter weight design.
