Hi Michael,
I hope this will help you:
  a.. Mac OSX has a built in magnifier called Zoom
  b.. Make sure you are in 'Finder' and open the ‘Apple’ menu
  c.. Select 'System Preferences...' and then the 'Universal Access' icon.
  d.. Select the 'Seeing' tab and then 'Turn on Zoom'
  e.. To zoom in press 'Alt' + ' Apple' + '+', and to zoom out press 'Alt' + 
'Apple' + '-'. Move the cursor around the screen to view the magnified page.
  f.. To change the Maximum and Minimum Zoom settings click on ' Zoom 
Options... ' or press ' Tab ' until ' Zoom Options... ' is highlighted and 
then press the ' Spacebar '.
  g.. To turn magnification on or off at any time press 'Alt' + 'Apple' + 
'*'
Magnifying the screen in Mac OS 8 and 9

  a.. The Mac OS includes an optional screen magnification program called 
'CloseView'.
  b.. If it is not installed on your computer it can be found on the Mac OS 
CD-Rom under CD Extras: Universal Access: CloseView
  c.. If you do not have access to the Mac OS CD-Rom it is available on the 
web at Apple Macintosh Software Toolkit
  d.. Once you have ‘CloseView’ installed, open it by opening the 'Apple' 
menu on the computer and from the 'Control Panels' sub menu selecting 
'CloseView'.
  e.. From here you can turn 'CloseView' on and off, set the magnification 
scale for example x2, invert the colours of the screen to white text on a 
black background and turn the 'CloseView' keyboard shortcuts on and off.
  f.. With the 'Keyboard Shortcuts' on you can use these 'CloseView' 
commands from within any program at any time:
    a.. 'Alt' + 'Apple' + 'K' Turn CloseView on or off
    b.. 'Alt' + 'Apple' + 'X' Turn magnification on or off
    c.. 'Alt' + 'Apple' + '+' Increase magnification
    d.. 'Alt' + 'Apple' + '-' Decrease magnification
