it becomes bigger
As the magnification of a microscope increases, the diameter of the field of view decreases. This is because higher magnification allows for more detailed observation of objects, but with a narrower field of view. Conversely, lower magnification provides a wider field of view but with less magnification.
Magnification refers to how much larger an object appears under the microscope compared to the naked eye, while field of view is the diameter of the area visible through the microscope lens at a given magnification. In simple terms, magnification is how big, and field of view is how much you can see.
As magnification increases in a microscope, the field of view decreases. This is because at higher magnifications, the microscope is focusing on a smaller area of the specimen, resulting in a narrower field of view.
The low power magnification of a microscope typically ranges from 10x to 40x. This level of magnification is used for initial scanning of a specimen and provides a wide field of view.
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.
The field of view becomes smaller when magnification increases.
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.
When magnification is increased from 40x to 100x, the field of view decreases. As magnification increases, the area visible through the microscope becomes smaller, allowing for a more detailed examination of a specific region. This occurs because higher magnification focuses on a narrower portion of the specimen, enhancing detail but reducing the overall observable area.
As magnification increases in a microscope, the field of view decreases, meaning you can see less of your specimen at a time. Additionally, resolution may decrease slightly, impacting the clarity and sharpness of the image. It may also become more difficult to maintain focus as magnification increases.

It is the area that you see when looking through the microscope. The field of view depends on the strength of magnification. The lower the power the larger the field of view.

The field of view (FOV) of a microscope refers to the area visible through the lens. It is determined by the diameter of the microscope's field diaphragm and the objective lens magnification. A higher magnification will typically result in a smaller field of view, while lower magnifications will have a larger field of view.
The depth of field decreases.
