Magnification is only ever expressed in "times". In writing a report you would write "At 2 times magnification", or if you are putting it on a graph or a figure you simply need to write "X 2" Where the X stands for times.

The common units used to measure magnification are "times" or "x." This indicates how many times larger an object appears under the microscope compared to its actual size.
A magnifying glass is a convex lens that enlarges the image of the object being observed. A diopter is used as the unit of measurement for a magnifying glass.
Common English units to measure distance include inches, feet, yards, and miles.
A hand lens typically measures in magnification units, such as 10x or 20x, indicating how much larger an object will appear when viewed through the lens compared to the naked eye.
The units of dispersion are dependent on the units of the data being measured. Common measures of dispersion include variance and standard deviation, which have square units and the same units as the data being measured, respectively. Another measure, such as the coefficient of variation, is a unitless measure of dispersion relative to the mean.
The SI unit for volume is the cubic meter (m³). Other common units include liters (L) and milliliters (mL).
Units such as grams (g) or milligrams (mg) are typically used with a balance to measure the weight of an object.
