Produce a real image

Configure the lens so the refracted rays actually meet on the far side.

Produce a virtual image

Get the lens to form an image that only appears to exist — try moving the object closer.

Produce a same-sized image

Find the special position where the image has the same height as the object.

Produce a large magnified image

Hunt for a configuration where |m| ≥ 3.

Identify the lens

Make the image virtual AND diminished — only one lens type can do this for every object position.
