I'm surprised that your binoculars magnify as much as they do, and that
such magnification can be useful.

Well, I have no way of checking the exact numbers. Suffice it to say
that depending on the light, I can see that a strand of human hair is
hollow. I am able to see the differences in opacity across the width of

the hair. I don't know if the mag number can be derived from that. And
yes, the optical quality of those binos is decent.

I tried the same trick with my telescope. It worked, but somehow
there was some sort of optical distorsion kicking in, destroying
the image pretty early.
