Magnification and Intuition

According to a standard Empiricist analysis, the perception of an object with the naked eye and the perception of an object under a magnifying glass are two distinct acts, any identification of which is problematic.  However, the shortcoming of such an analysis is its applicability to a related case.  This is when an object is already under the eyepiece of a microscope or telescope, and the degree of magnification is gradually altered.  In this case, Magnification is directly perceived, not derived from two discrete perceptions.  So, none of the terms of Atomist Empiricism, e. g. Impression, appropriately characterizes the Perception of Magnification.  In contrast, Bergson's Intuition is dynamic and continuous, so, is not constrained by the inherent discreteness of those terms.  Such Intuition can thus ground the comparison of the perception of an object with the naked eye, and the perception of it via one of the devices as magnified. On the other hand, Bergson's Intuition is simple, so, as is, it cannot accommodate the change in size that is essential to Magnification.  Still, a modified version of that Intuition, i. e. Sense-based, unmediated, dynamic, seems more appropriate to the process than any of the perceptual types of either standard Empiricism or standard Rationalism, neither of which has attempted to explain a Perception that has had profound consequences for human history.
