Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If you do not center an object before moving to a higher power objective, what can happen?
A
It will be out of focus at the next power
B
It will disappear at the next power
C
It will be out of the field of view at the next power
D
It will be too larger at the next power
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -You must have the object centered before you change objectives to increase the magnification, because the field of view becomes smaller; if the object is off to the side, it may disappear when you go to higher magnification. For best viewing at high power, white light is essential.

Detailed explanation-2: -The field of view is inversely proportional to the magnification power, meaning that as the magnification increases, the field of view decreases. As such, when the magnification is increased from 4x to 40x, the field of view decreases.

Detailed explanation-3: -These adjust the magnification as well as the working distance. Changing to a higher power objective lens increases the overall magnification and the working distance reduces. Conversely adding a reducing objective lowers the overall magnification but increases the working distance.

Detailed explanation-4: -CAUTION: NEVER, EVER, use the coarse adjustment knob with the high power objective. This could break the lens. Multiply the power of the ocular lens, by the power of the objective lens.
