We were pleasantly surprised at the magnifying power of the binoculars.

By that time, the microscope's magnification had increased to 200,000 times, a landmark on the route to today's magnifying power of two million.

The management had provided a microscope with a magnifying power of only thirty thousand diameters, and so nobody got to see him, after all.

The thing didn't have half the magnifying power of binocs, but it didn't give him a headache, either.

This value of the magnifying power is the one normally used to characterize magnifiers.

In actual use, an observer with "typical" eyes would obtain a magnifying power between 1 and 2, depending on where lens is held.

Probably Wade had examined all calling cards under the magnifying power of the crystal skull.

Problems were the scope's extreme eye relief, poor functioning in bad light and low magnifying power.

The shorter the focal length, the greater the magnifying power of the lens.

General Jackson did not move, save to lift his glasses now and then, as if with their magnifying powers he could pierce the dark.
