Whenever scopes are designated by the notation that you are asking about, the first number, in this case 10, is the magnification that the scope provides. The second number, in this case 50, is the diameter in millimeters of the objective, or front, lens. So, what you have is a 10 power scope with a 50 millimeter objective lens. The size of the objective lens is said to determine the amount of light gathering ability that a scope has. According to this line of thought, the larger the objective lens, the more light it can gather and thus the brighter the image that you see. This is only partly true. There are many other factors to take into account. The quality of the glass from which the lenses are made, the type of coating on them and the diameter of the main body of the scope. Since you don't always have all of this information at hand, using the size of the objective lens to determine the amount of light gathering capacity of the scope is a decent rule of thumb but you have to realize the limitations of this method.

many times the numbers could be 7 x 50 or 10 x 40. the 1st extensive type is the magnification and something above 10 could desire a tripod. the 2nd extensive type is the diameter of the front lens and is a level of ways plenty easy the binoculars assemble. the bigger the 2nd extensive type the greater helpful it extremely is going to likely be at accumulating easy. If the 1st extensive type is basically too great then without a tripod the image could dance approximately and you woould no longer be waiting to work out it. additionally if the 2nd extensive type is small and the magnification is extreme then the appropriate photograph could be fainter.

10 is the magnification (10x), 50 is the objective lens diameter (10mm). The larger the diameter size, the brighter and sharper the image.

10 times Zoom, 50 mm wide lens. Dont know how to explain the whole 50 mm thing just that it is how wide your lens is and in turn how wide of a projection you get when you look thru them.

It means that you are going to be able to see things like birds, zebras, donkeys & snakes a lot closer than before.
