The first number is magnification: 10x makes objects appear ten times closer. The second number is the diameter of the front lenses in millimeters: 42 mm lenses gather more light than smaller lenses, which can make the image brighter. For handheld use, 8x or 10x binoculars are usually easier to keep steady. Higher magnification can show more detail, but small hand movements are magnified too. Larger objective lenses can create a brighter image, especially in low light, but they also make binoculars bigger and heavier.\u003c\/h6\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"bt-120-sf-large-binoculars-with-62-degree-ler-eyepieces","title":"BT-120 SF Large Binoculars with 62 Degree LER Eyepieces","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Explore Scientific BT-120 Giant Binoculars bring the power of a double refractor telescope to binocular viewing, providing stunningly bright and detailed images for both astronomy and terrestrial observation.
