Zoom and magnification

Hi

The microscope has a 100x magnification.

Is it pronounced as "one hundred times magnification"?

The microscope has the capability to zoom in one hundred times.

Does the above sentence sound right?

Thanks!

I could be interpreted to mean that the ability is good for only 100 times.
As far as I know (which isn't terribly far), people often say just "100x" - actually saying the letter.
