GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -In short, as magnification increases, the field of view decreases. When looking through a high power compound microscope it can be difficult to determine what you will see through the eyepieces at different magnifications.

Detailed explanation-2: -Enlargement or magnification of a specimen is the function of a two-lens system; the ocular lens is found in the eyepiece, and the objective lens is situated in a revolving nose-piece.

Detailed explanation-3: -They do this by making things appear bigger (magnifying them) and at the same time increasing the amount of detail we can see (increasing our ability to distinguish between two objects or ‘resolve’ them). For this reason, they are one of the most widely used tools in science.

Detailed explanation-4: -The total magnification of a specimen is obtained by multiplying the magnification of the objective lens by the ocular lens. What you observe through the microscope is your field of view. As one increases the magnification, your field of view decreases. At low magnification you might see an entire organism.
