<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rmpsrpms, post: 2666968, member: 31773&quot;]Not at all.

The pod has a zoom ratio of 7:1, and this is why it is called a SZ7. But it also (by happenstance or design) has a magnification range from 1x up to 7x.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The pod provides an aerial image that is magnified by the eyepieces for viewing with the eyes. That image could also be projected onto a camera sensor instead. In the first case, the optical magnification of the pod, multiplied by the magnification of the eyepieces, will set the total system magnification. In the latter case the magnification of the display monitor replaces the magnification of the eyepieces to set the total system magnification. These are completely analogous.</p><p><br /></p><p>One thing I have not stated, and it may be the key to understanding this, is that there is an assumed viewing distance from the monitor that gives a standardized way to calculate these magnifications. I leave it to the interested reader to explain how this distance is determined.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Ahh, but physical devices such as IC packages, or display monitors, are indeed mechanical objects. Many of their properties obey the laws of mechanics, and they have 3-dimensional form.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are many &quot;domains&quot; or &quot;layers&quot; in this world...optical; electrical; digital; mechanical; spiritual; the list goes on and on. When you are talking about physical objects, you are in the mechanical domain, or the physical layer. Of course, physical objects could have aspects that exist in other domains as well, and that makes things somewhat confusing for such a complex object as a display monitor.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
