What does aspheric mean in terms of a magnifier?

An aspheric lens or asphere is a lens whose surface profiles are not portions of a sphere or cylinder.Basically like the other guy said less distortion giving a concave view. Basically used in eyeglassesIn simpler terms seeing averything flat e.g. 2d view. Source:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspheric_lens

An aspheric lens has less distortions around the edges of the magnifying lens. The mold has more of a concave shape to it to allow for clearer, sharper images.

The aspherical view isn't a different view. It makes the view longer. The only problem with these specifically is that they are made in china and made of really thin plastic. On ours the mirror bent when adjusted giving a really distorted view almost like a fun house mirror.

No there is no magnifier. We put this on our Hawk 981-R and it works great.

It is a 3-X optical magnifier. there's supposed to be a 5-X too, but I haven't been able to find one. It does have a 5x bubble but it tends to be a distraction.

When I look through a eo tech with its red dot and circle they are very fuzzy to me. The triangle reticle is sharp with no blur and comes to a nice fine point which I use for aiming. I really don't know how a astigmatism would effect it but for my eyes it's great.

The magnification is distorted only around the outer perimeter of the magnified side. The center remains unwarped, allowing the user to focus on key details, versus the whole face per se.

I use it as a general work light, and only occasionally use the magnifier. The light is quite good for detail work like the plastic models i buils.

there are 10x and 20x interchangeable eyepieces, there are four lens settings on the rotating disk. I'm not sure of those magnifications, though.

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 don't have mine in front of me, so I can't easily compare its brightness as a magnifier placed 8" above my work with a similarly placed 100W bulb, but I suspect the bulb is brighter. On the other hand, the magnifier has a quality optical view and the LEDs don't shine in your face or make life hot. I use it for surface mount soldering of 2mm-4mm sized parts and it's great. It won't replace a loupe, but they are inexpensive and easy to use - give one a try.

I do not have the answer to that. I will say the magnifier I purchased I sent back. The lamp would not stay up and the magnifier just was not in the right location for comfort. I have an old OTTLite that just flips up and I use it all the time and love it. Just a basic lamp. Hope this helps.

No, its just the magnifier, but if you put this magnifier behind a red dot that is cowittnessed and then swap it to one that is bottom 1/3 cowittnessed on the same mount, the dot will not be centered in the magnifier. This has knobs that allow you to move the focus of the magnifier to center the dot.

It's not slanted its hinged. So you can point the light toward the subject. It is a great little magnifier. Very clear.

Gunnar has almost no magnification. If you want glasses that work when you need reading glasses and work on a computer you should try Sightline readers. They are reading glasses with a progressive lens.... What you eye doctor would call an occupational lens.

Hi Misty! I'm not entirely sure exactly what you mean, but if you're referring to the small round quarter sized higher magnifying lens in the larger lens, it's to the side (actually, about half way between center & the edge of the larger glass). I'm still very happy with this lamp and believe it is among the best available out there! Let me know if I can perhaps provide a better answer for you, if needed. Thanks!

Hello Joy,The magnification of this product is 2X. Complete information about it can be found at the following URL: http://www.opticsplanet.com/carson-magnifold-lighted-magnifier-mj50.htmlIf you need more magnification, try the more compact 5X magnification "Carson® 5x MiniBrite LED Lighted Slide-Out Aspheric Magnifier with Protective Sleeve (PO-55)" Also sold by Amazon.I own both of them and use them both of them everyday, and they are each extremely useful!I hope this is helpful to you!Matt K
