<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1828989, member: 15199&quot;]Magnification is just enlargement in a non technical world, magnification&nbsp; in a technical sense means higher resolution of a lens. I was in a *mart store selling a microscope for kids, it&nbsp; said 1200X on the box, but most is enlargement of a&nbsp; blurry low resolution objective lens. A 1000X microbiology scope has a 10X ocular and a 100 X objective, but the 100X only work with a oil or other solution which has the same RI as glass for resolution. None of these &#039;toy&#039; 1000X, 1200, 1800 scopes do. I had to work hard to get enough light on the object shown above as such a lens is almost 1/8&quot; from the specimen. I would think that most error variety people are using&nbsp;&nbsp; 10 -20 X loupes or 30-45X stereoscopes. However that shot reveals why Morgans can have such colorful natural toning while Peace are much less, and why such toning is limited to high grade AU-MS.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
