Study Notes
Field of View in Microscopy
- The field of view is the circular area that can be seen through the microscope's eyepiece lens.
- The diameter of the field of view decreases as the magnification increases.
- At low power, the diameter of the field is directly proportional to the objective lens magnification.
Objective Lens Magnification
- Using a 40x magnification objective lens reduces the diameter of the field.
- At medium power, the diameter of the field is inversely proportional to the objective lens magnification.
