magnified
Optically blown up
Magnified describes something that has been made to appear larger than it actually is, typically through a lens or optical device: The magnified image revealed details invisible to the naked eye.
By extension, magnified applies to anything enlarged or intensified beyond its natural state—fears, problems, or sounds can all be magnified.
