<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rmpsrpms, post: 2667184, member: 31773&quot;]I don&#039;t think I ever mentioned the word &quot;machine&quot;. That word has a very different definition from &quot;mechanical&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Look back at the definition you posted:</p><p><br /></p><p>me·chan·i·cal</p><p>məˈkanək(ə)l/</p><p><i>adjective</i></p><ol> <li>1.<br /> working or <b>produced by machines</b> or machinery.<br /> &quot;a mechanical device&quot;</li> </ol><p>Things that are produced by machines or machinery, including electrical components, are &quot;mechanical devices&quot;. Thus both the sensor and the display are mechanical devices from this definition.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is a bit of digression though, since it does little to explain the meaning of &quot;mechanical magnification&quot;. Perhaps you can think of it this way...Imagine you were given an image printed on a sheet of rubber. If you mechanically stretch the sheet of rubber in both x and y, you would have &quot;mechanically magnified&quot; the printed image.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
