	My suggestion is to get your hands on magnifiers - the smaller and
the stonger generally the better.  Cannabilize some parts like old HMDs
(try buying a virtual boy on ebay), things like that.  Then it's mostly
trial-and-error and that-looks-about-right.  Rectangular lenses are what
you usually want if you can get them.  

	Start out messing with some loupes and so forth.  Or the slide
magnifiers that photo people use.
