magnification

Magnifying glass with x 40 magnification.

In other words, it makes objects look 40 times bigger!

I'm not 100% sure, but it's definitely something along these lines.

Thanks Baruch.
agree n/a (X) : Certainly 40x magnification (in singular, as you say), but lupa will be a 'stereomicroscope'.

Ah yes, that's rather better than magnifying glass in this sort of context. Thanks for the clarification, Iain.
