What do the numbers on optics (scopes and binoculars) mean?
The first number indicates the magnification. It may be a single number for a fixed power or a range such as 3-9 for a variable power. The second number is the objective lens diameter shown in millimeters. There is usually an x between the first and second numbers. For example, a binocular with the designation 10×60 would magnify the image by a factor of ten and would have an objective lens diameter of 60 millimeters. [Back To Top] • Where is my order?
