Does it actually magnify?

yes. not by a great amount but does work. Really a nice item. Not made with cheap materials.

Not very much, but I think my grandsons will like them in their treasure chests. They look nice.

Yes. It comes with a 2x magnifier. It narrows your field of vision quite a bit and sort of defeats the point of a red for for me.

i believe magnification is adjustable. to activate this feature you "calibrate" the scope. instructions for this come with it and are not difficult to follow.

Yes. It has the oil. But the highest power magnifications are only achieved with one of the add-ons; of which there are many. I'm not as proficient in its use so to me it seems a bit complicated. But for those who know what they're doing and don't require the best, I think it will be sufficient.

it does magnify them, but i'm not sure how much. if you just want to look to get an idea of what the slide is, the window is fine. if you want more, like who, where, etc. I would recommend the viewer. I used it to sort slides that i inherited to decide what to put on a disk to share with the rest of the family. It was a good investment for that.

No, it's a fixed magnification. You can adjust the focus by getting closer or farther away from the object you're magnifying.

My experience with my sisters magnifier mirror was that if you are close to it, it does not distort. The closer you are too it the less the distortion is. It wouldn't magnify without some concave or convection of the mirror surface.

No it does not. The dot size stays the same no matter the magnification. This is a great scope and would highly recommend it.

Yes you can see through it and it focus by moving it in and out. I would say it is a functioning novelty.

NO. It has no magnification or night vision capabilities but works great on AR's out to 300 yards. It has a red and green reticle and is easily adjustable. The red and green reticles over power the light coming thru the scope and make it hard to see targets after dusk. Battery life appears to be very long lasting as I have been using mine since 2009 and have not had to replace batteries as yet. My Vortex StrikeFire did come with an additional device to enable 2X but I have not used it.

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

No magnification and its slightly smaller than an iPad. Hope that helps. I really like it .

Yes the magnification is great the only problem is the small mirror falls out after a few uses because the mirror heats up from the light ... I still use it with a gaping hole in it lol

No, not unless you already have a magnifier. Cheaply made, I do not recommend!

No it has 0 magnification. it is simply a holographic project on a piece of clear meium. there is nothing that requires adjustment

I think it might. It does magnify if that is what would help you. It did not serve the purpose for my mother because her problem has more to do with contrast and the magnification didn't help. I thought it was a great tool for the purpose it was intended.
