Magnus is a simple screen magnifying glass. It nicely integrates with X11 desktops like MATE or Xfce (probably with others not named here, too).

Visually impaired users may find this tool helpful for zooming into certain screen areas in order to improve readability/visibilty of fonts, icons and other data.

Magnus is minimal. There is one GUI option: magnify 2, 3, 4 or 5 times, and one command-line option: the refresh rate. The default refresh rate of once every 120ms is too slow, but launched as "magnus --refresh-interval=60" it is fine. Magnus magnifies with no smoothing/bluring, so is great for inspecting individual pixels.
