How many microns equal 1 inch of mercury?

You have odd units. Microns is a measurement of distance (micrometer) Inch is a measurement of distance. 25400 microns in an inch. Edit: You just answered the question, a micron is also a measure of pressure just like an inch of mercury is a measure of pressure. So 1 inch of mercury is equal to 25400 microns of mercury.


How do you determine the diameter of the field of view?

At low power on the compound microscope, the diameter of the field of view is 4 millimeters. This is reduced to 1.7 millimeters when you switch to medium power and further reduced to 0.4 millimeters when you switch to high power. Covert the measurment for the field of view from millimeters to microns, the conventional unit of measurment in microscopy. There are 1000 microns in one millimeter. Low power: 4mm= 4,000um Medium power: 1.7mm= 1,700um High power: 0.4mm= 400um
