basically they screw on your filter thread and reduce the minimum focus distance of your lense - you can also stack em for greater magnification but i wouldnt recomend stacking more than two as you will degrade the image quality and might get vignetting. For the latter reason also if you have a uv filter on the front of the lens take it off before putting the close ups on.
