Adjusting a microscope's magnification settings can alter an object's field of view from a macro to micro areas. Higher magnification make the field of smaller and better defined, where lower settings increases the visible area.

the more magnificcation makes the resolution get more distorted and pixelated. Magnificatiion is ok to a certain extent before this starts to happen. If you are move to a lesser magnification the image will become of a higher quality, but if you were to "zoom out" too far the image may become hard to see.

As you move from a lower to a higher magnification, the field of view decreases.

if the resolution of a slide as you increase then magnification on the microscope will because format is to hard to resist

What is the relationship between the diameter of the microscope field and its magnification?

The field of vision shrinks as the magnification gets higher so as the magnification increases the less of the diameter of the microscopic field you can see.


What happend to the depth of field if magnification increases?

The higher the magnification the lower the depth of field.


What is the relationship between magnification and the diameter of the field of view?

Magnification is inversely proportional to the diameter of the field of view.


How do you calculate field diameter?

Field diameter of lens B equals field diameter of lens A times total magnification of lens A divided by total magnification of lens B


What happens to the diameter of the field of the view when you change for low to high power?

The diameter of a field is decreased by 1.5 millimeters when changed from low power to high power magnification.


What happens to the depth of field as the magnification increases?

As the magnification increases, the depth of field decreases.


What does it mean for a microscope to be parcentered?

When a microscope is parcentered, the specimens will appear centered in the field of view at every magnification. So if a field of a slide is centered at the lowest power, even though the field diameter shrinks at each higher magnification, the desired part of the specimen will remain in the center of the viewing field.


Microscopic field size increase with higher magnification?

Magnification is related because as magnification increases, the depth of field decreases.


What happens to the field of view in a compound in a compound light microscope when the total magnification is increased?

The field of view becomes smaller when magnification increases.


What are the advantages of knowing the diameter of the field of view at a given magnification?

You can use that to estimate the size of objects that you are observing.


When using a 10X ocular and a 15X objective and the field size is 1.5 mm the approximate field size with a 30X objective is what mm?

0.75 mm way to get this answer........... (diameter of field A X total magnification of field A) / total magnification of field B so start by finding the diameter of field A= which is the 1.5 next figure out what the total magnification of field A is= 150 (you get this answer by multiplying the ocular # which is 10x by the objective # which is 15x. (10 x 15= 150) next figure out what the total magnification of field B is =300 (you get this answer by multiplying the ocular # which is 10x by the other higher objective # which is 30x. (10 x 30 = 300) then you can use the formula and plug in all the answers you got to get the answer (1.5mm x 150)/300=.75mm


How does increased magnification affect the field vision?

Increasing the magnification on a light microscope will decreased the diameter of the field of view. You are essentially looking closer and closer at the objects. For example: Using your hand (thumb to fingertips), create a circle as if holding a telescope. Hold your hand-telescope up to one eye and look through it at your screen. Now, move closer to the computer screen... The size of the field you are able to see gets smaller...that's what happens with a microscope lens. As you increase the magnification, the lens gets closer to the specimen.
