How much does it magnify?

Hi Marcia, sorry, I'm not too sure, probably only 2x or 4x, it suits me as I was not looking for something overly powerful, it is a great looking magnifying glass and good quality also....cheers Rob

Sorry, I can't answer that as I bought it for a gift. It presented well in a lovely box.

I am not sure but we bought it to look at tiny details in our Disney Thomas Kinkade's. some of the drawing Are microscopic and the glass is awesome for seeing them. Highly recommend...beautiful mag glass

I believe it is about a X3 power, feels good in the hand and very large viewing area.

I'm estimating about 2.5x to 3x. For higher magnification, you may have to go for a smaller diameter. I like the wide field of view the 4" glass gives. It's a beautiful magnifier and comes in a very nice box (in case you have gift-giving in mind).

That is the strength of the reading glass. The higher the number the greater the magnification. It is not at all about the size as it will fit your head.

I'm not certain about the magnification, but it is ok for middle aged eyes like mine. I am using a 100 watt bulb anyway; so far we have not blown a fuse or set a fire. Cheers.

The magnification on this mini mirror is 10X; it's 5X on the larger mirror. I actually use both mirrors. I guess I'm blind as a bat!

The useful magnification is about 140x for astronomical purposes. Beyond this you're going to get fuzzy images. Don't be fooled by extravagant claims.

Yes, though its 5x magnification is a bit high for reading menus extensively.2x magnification might be more appropriate, depending on your vision.

No magnification. I sent mine back. You can get dual zone magnification for $30 or so from other vendors.

This is very magnified... In fact if I had to order another one I probably wouldn't get this magnification... She didn't need it this much

I turned my light on and adjusted it to see. I am not an expert but can only tell you what I do see when I adjust the lighted magnifying glass to different distances and it appears to magnify the specific items one focuses on to three times larger. Bear in mind I already wear glasses so this is what I see wearing my glasses and I do realize that it is different under different circumstances and different distances. What is important to me is that I can adjust the distant to what is helpful and applicable to my sight. At the same time I can only assume it will be the same for others

It depends how clear you are looking to see. It is definitely a toy, not meant for serious chemists. To give you an example my 6 year old daughter put a strand of hair under the scope, and yes it magnifies it, but not enough to make the strand of hair look like anything other than a strand of hair. The lowest magnification is the only one that we were able to focus with. Its a great toy, perfect for my little one.

The working area is about 1.5 X 1.5 cm, with 1 cm working distance. If the working area is 17cm, the magnification is little. :-)

Sure! Flips from one magnification to another. I love this thing! Wish I had gotten it much sooner :)

It is 80x magnification. You will need to attach the 8x lens that comes with the microscope.

I have not measured out any area to view with the scope, so I can not be certain. As the mount for this device is not particularly great I usually end up putting the plastic ring around what I intend to view & zoom in to focus. Is it possible to take 1 cm2 shots with it, likely yes though you will have to experiment with focal lengths to get the magnification & field of view that you want. This device is more of a toy than a piece of lab equipment mainly due to the iffy base & the magnification dial's placement. If something more lab grade that is what you are looking for I recommend a more typical microscope such as this one: http://www.amazon.com/iOptron-ST-80-Digital-Microscope/dp/B0032VFC84/ref=fs_patw_1 It has higher magnification, a backlight, & multiple objective lenses. I hope this was helpful.

the magnifying part is about 5 inches in diameter. I do a lot of cross stitch with this and it works out perfectly.

Not much. The size is about the same. This one has a little bit better zoom.

It magnifies from 3 times all the way to 9 times which should give you enough magnification to 300 yards, but it depends on what kind of rifle you put it on and how far you sight it in to
