Magnifying glass ray diagram: object inside F

An example figure from the Ray Diagram Generator.

A ray diagram of a converging lens with the object inside F; the rays spread out after the lens and their dashed extensions meet behind the object at a dashed, upright, larger virtual image — A converging lens of focal length 10 cm used as a magnifying glass, with a 3 cm object 5 cm away, inside F. The rays spread apart after the lens, so they never meet; their dashed extensions meet on the object’s side, 10 cm from the lens, at the virtual, upright image twice the object’s size, drawn dashed.
