Best Answer

It is focused on the largest area of vision by being the most "zoomed out", so you are looking at a much greater area than the high power field of view.

If the size of the high-power field is 1.2 mm an object that occupies approximately a third of that field has an estimated diameter of?

area of object = (1/3) pi * radius^2 = (1/3) (pi) * (0.6)^2 = 0.377 Find the diameter of this object (assuming it's a circle), and that's the answer: diameter = radius * 2 radius = square root (area / pi) diameter = 2 * square root (area / pi) diameter = 2 * (0.335) = 0.67


What happens to Field of View when you change from low power to oil immersion high power?

The field of view is inversely related to the magnification power...the greater the magnification, the smaller the field of view


What is the function of the medium power objective in the compound microscope?

Medium power objective gives the medium (as oppose to large or small), field of vision and the greatest depth of field. When you move the lens' position (CLose or far from the slide) it would be the middle. Read the textbook it will be of more benefit; or look it up on the internet you are on anyways. Type [edu] with brackets for a page of more scholarly links (if their domain is .edu).


What happens to the depth of field as your move from low power to high power?

Depth of field decreases from low to high. This means what you see under the microscope is blurry. If both objects are not blurry, this means you have high depth-of-field.

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 is the diameter of the high power field of a microscope in micrometers?

the diameter of the high power field microscope is 500 micrometers


Which objective of a compound microscope would show the largest field of view?

You use the 3 objective lenses of a compound microscope to switch powers. There's LOW, MEDIUM, and HIGH power. With LOW power, you can magnify what you're looking at. With HIGH power, you can see things that you can't see with a naked eye.


How big is the worm relative to 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


Why was it necessary to move the letter e to the center of the low power field before changing to high power?

The high power field, though more magnified, covers a much smaller slice of the field of vision. If not centered the e could disappear to one side or the other.


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


How do you calculate the field diameter of the medium power lens?

The equation goes like this and works for both medium AND high feild diameter : Medium(High) DIA. = Low Diameter / [Med(High)mag/low mag] Brackets () are NOT for multiplication, they are for the other formula.

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.
