enlarger
Negative-to-print device
An enlarger is a device used in photography to project a negative onto light-sensitive paper, producing a print larger than the original.
The enlarger was central to darkroom work before digital photography: She adjusted the enlarger to get the right crop.
More generally, anything that makes something bigger can be called an enlarger.
