Magnification Error?
The magnifier is very good value, and just what I need, but the magnification of the higher power lens is approximately 4 times. I previously bought a different make which claimed to be 30 times magnification, but was more like 3 times, so had a good idea what to expect. I checked the magnification by printing out the word TEST at 12 Points, repeating it at 48 points just over one inch away. I was able to view the smaller through the higher power lens, and see the larger print
unmagnified at the same time. They looked about the same size. That is how I conclude the magnification is about 4. A magnification of 45 needs a microscope. Sorry prove me wrong
if you can. I also have an old German magnifier with a composite lens it is labelled 10x
The image is over twice as big as this one.
