ASTM F1753-96(2014)

1.1This specification covers lenses and scopes used in conjunction with archery bows. It establishes a standardized system for the classification of these lenses in terms of their optical magnification, the marking of the scopes in which the lenses are mounted, and charts depicting the empirical relationship of the apparent magnification the consumer can expect to obtain when a correctly marked lens is used under specific conditions.

1.2Acuity-The visual acuity of these lenses is related to the magnification of the lens in general. For the average subject there can be an improvement in acuity with lenses having apparent magnifications of 2 to 4× and a decrement in acuity with lenses of 6× and greater.

1.3The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
