Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
As you move from low power to high power, the field of view becomes
A
Darker and larger
B
Darker and smaller
C
Brighter and larger
D
Brighter and small
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Each time you switch to a higher power, the depth of focus is reduced. Therefore a smaller part of the specimen is in focus at higher power. The amount of light transmitted to your eye is greatest at the low power.

Detailed explanation-2: -The light intensity decreases as magnification increases. There is a fixed amount of light per area, and when you increase the magnification of an area, you look at a smaller area. So you see less light, and the image appears dimmer. Image brightness is inversely proportional to the magnification squared.

Detailed explanation-3: -Expert-Verified Answer. The field of view and amount of light alter when using the compound microscope from low to high power. As the targets use more power, the field of view gets smaller and narrower. Additionally, when you move from low to high-power targets, less light is accessible.

Detailed explanation-4: -As magnification increases, the diameter of the field of view decreases. In other words, you can see less area of the specimen as you increase the magnification.

Detailed explanation-5: -In a microscope, low power indicates lower magnification and high power indicates higher magnification. The high power, higher magnification setting decreases the field of view of the microscope. That is, the area that the microscope can image becomes smaller.
