In the listing and the description, what does "2 5x" magnification mean? What is the magnification?

It is a large 2X lens (doubles the size of the object) with a small 5X lens inset . It Is a good product for hands free use. The title is confusing and should be changed. I use a similar one for embroidery. A 5X lens has a very short focal length so you have to work with the project very close to the lens. I use the small 5X to check areas of just a few threads if things get tangled up. I don't think you can get a large lens for around your neck in higher focal lengths than 2.5X.

There is a small lens at the lower edge for spot magnification (enlarge image) at 5 times - good for threading needles - and the main lens magnifies (enlarged image) at 2 times.

I am just guessing but I assume it is 2 and 1/2 magnification; I have one of these and the cord that you put around your neck can be adjusted to bring your work into focus so I wouldn't worry about it. I love mine! Well worth the money!

2.5x means that an object will be two and one half times bigger when viewed through the magnifier, thus 2.5x is the magnification.

Should read 2.5X magnification. The large portion makes object look 2-and-a-half times bigger, and the small round spot at the center bottom of the lens maginfies 6 times.

It means the magnification is 2 1/2 times greater than what you see with the naked eye. The image is 2 1/2 times bigger than its actual size.

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

When you process to order, there are bunch of options for you to choose. 2.5 means 250. I hope this is helpful.

Just to clarify (no pun intended) the box is clearly labeled 3.5X magnification. THE DESCRIPTION IS WRONG!

4x, which is a little bit of magnification. The zoom is not an adjustable amount by the way.

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).

I couldn't find any documentation for the magnification, but I would hazard a guess at around 3x. It works well for me, I use it for paper craft.

These numbers refer to the strength (magnification) of the lenses. Higher numbers magnify more.

Magnification Power - It's your choice. Binoculars are identified by 2 numbers. The first is magnification power, the second is the diameter of the front lenses, explained below. Example: 7 x 35 binoculars have a magnification power of 7. A magnification power of 7 means that an object will appear 7 times closer than it would to your unassisted eye. For example, if you view a deer that stands 200 yards away from you through 7x binoculars, it will appear as though it were 28.6 yards away (200 divided by 7). So, the greater the magnification power the better the view, right? Not necessarily. Binoculars with magnification powers greater than 10 amplify the movements of your hands, making steady viewing difficult. Objective Lens Diameter The second number used in binocular identification refers to the diameter (in millimeters) of the objective lenses (those farther from your eyes; those closer to the "object" being viewed). Example: 7 x 35 binoculars have objective lenses measuring 35mm. The diameter of the objective lenses largely determines how much light your binoculars can gather. If you have 2 binoculars with exactly the same specifications except for objective lens diameter, those with the larger diameter objective lenses will capture more light. More light means a brighter view, particularly in low-light conditions.

The 1.25, 1.50, 2.0, etc refers to the strength of the glasses----the "prescription strength". The higher the number, the stronger the prescription. Someone who only needs reading glasses might only require a 1.50. Someone who can't see well without glasses would require a higher number. I would suggest you go some where like a Dollar General store and try on several different strengths of their over the counter glasses so you will know what works best for you. As for the "size" of the glasses....they kind of telescope in and out in such a way that you can adjust their size by about 4" total. Doesn't sound like much, but that's enough to accommodate most people's head size. Hope this helps! The 1.25, 1.50, 2.0, etc refers to the strength of the glasses----the "prescription strength".

Yes. This measurement means that it has variable magnification. It will magnify from 20x to 60x zoom. The "x80mm" number describes the diameter of the objective lens ( the one farthest from your eye) . the larger the objective lens, the more light it captures = brighter picture.

I agree, the description was confusing. Having just received this magnifying lamp I can tell you that the lens is five inches in diameter and the magnification is 1.75x.

I am not sure specifically how to say exactly how much magnification the 1/2 in. x 9 in. power bar has. It magnifies/enlarges the writing that it is placed over when simply placed over it on the counter and if you lift the power bar up off the counter, the words you are magnifying become larger yet. But the script also is not as clear the further you move it away. Hope that helps!!! :-)

Descriptions on the lamp said there is a 2x magnifier which measures about 5 inch diameter. There is a 5x spot magnifier which measure just about 1 inch diameter. You can see the 5x spot magnifier towards the on/off button area in the pictures whereas the 2x magnifier is the whole lens. Hope this help.

There are two magnifications I believe. You can reach two focus points by turning the know. So there are two positions you can turn to that will give you a clear image. Those two positions have different magnifications. Just turn the knob between its extremes and you'll see.

No, there is no normal magnification, only 5X. This mirror is really a great mirror! I don't miss having a smaller magnification mirror.

That is correct the aperture is 100mm. The first set of numbers [22-67x] indicates the magnification capability of the optic. On the other hand the second [100] indicates the aperture if I'm not mistaken.
