The apportioning of proportionally more space on the cortex to the representation of specific areas of sensory receptors. For example, a small area on the retina in or near the fovea receives more space on the cortex than the same area of peripheral retina. Smilarly, the fingertips receive more space on the somatosensory cortex than the forearm or leg.

How can I determine the magnification of my mirror?

To determine the magnification of a mirror, divide the height of the image by the height of the object. The result will be the magnification factor.


How can I accurately determine the magnification power of my camera setup using a teleconverter calculator?

To accurately determine the magnification power of your camera setup using a teleconverter calculator, input the focal length of your lens and the magnification factor of the teleconverter into the calculator. The magnification power is calculated by multiplying the focal length of the lens by the magnification factor of the teleconverter.


What type of image is formed by a mirror if m 5.2?

If the magnification factor (m) is positive (greater than 1), then the image is upright and enlarged. If the magnification factor is negative (less than -1), then the image is upright and reduced. If the magnification factor is between -1 and 1 (excluding 0), then the image is smaller and inverted.


What size is an object if field of view is 4.5mm?

The object size will depend on the magnification of the viewing system. If the magnification is known, the object size can be determined by multiplying the field of view by the magnification factor.


What is the magnification factor for a 50MM lens?

A 50mm lens has a diopter of 20.


How is magnification calculated in optical systems?

Magnification in optical systems is calculated by dividing the size of the image produced by the lens by the size of the object being viewed. This ratio gives the magnification factor of the optical system.

How do you test mirror magnification?

To test mirror magnification, you can place a ruler at a known distance from the mirror and measure the size of the reflected image. By comparing the size of the image to the actual size on the ruler, you can determine the magnification factor of the mirror.


Does the magnification in a microscope based upon the length measurement coincide with the magnification based on the width?

The magnification in a microscope is the same for both length and width measurements when using the same objective lens. The magnification factor is determined by the combination of the objective and ocular lenses in the microscope, resulting in equal magnification for both dimensions.

How do you calculate total magnification of a surgical microscope with 12.5x eye pieces 175mm objective lens and a 5 step mag changer with ranges 0.4 0.6 1.0 1.6 2.4 x?

if it is 175mm objective,simply multiply u r magnification factor(.4,.....2.4)*eye piece magnifiaction(12.5).......for 2.4,the magnification will be around 30(12.5*2.4).the actula formula is Fbinocular*Meye*zoom factor/Fobj


What is parafocal?

parafocal lenses are zoom lenses that preserve the focal plane for every magnification factor.
