i think you mean the +4 filter ?
they are just an add on.
you simply screw this filter onto your lens/thread converter, and viola! it adds close up ability to your camera, allowing to magnify your subject.

But the effect aint that nice compared to using a true macro lens or even a reverse-lens method.
Moreover you tend to lose stops with filters.

hope it helps =)
