<p>[QUOTE=&quot;silvrluvr, post: 78651, member: 4204&quot;]A 10X triplet would be a single compound lens composed of three pieces &#039;glued&#039; together so that it appears to be a single piece of glass. A triplet can be 10X, 20X, etc., but it does not have multiple separate lenses. This is the best design that I know of for reducing optical distortion and chromatic aberration, (getting true colors with lens coatings). A Bausch &amp; Lomb 10X Hastings Triplet is a good choice, although a bit pricier than some. When you hear reference to &#039;Hastings Triplet&#039;, the &#039;Hasting&#039;s design&#039; of using three pieces of glass to form 1 compound lens is what is being referred to. So, a Triplet is simply a single power magnifier with 1 glass piece that you look through. It is not the style of magnifier that Ray was referring to that had 3 separate 7X lenses. Now that I&#039;ve completely confused the issue, forgive me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
