Learn English – Less colloquial term for “zoom in”

single-word-requests

I have a graph that shows some statistic for the period 1930-2010.

I then have another graph (for the exact same statistic) which I introduce by saying: "Let us zoom in to the period 1960-90."

I have been told that "zoom in" is too colloquial. What is a better word or phrase?
