Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If you switch from the lowest power of magnification to the medium power of magnification, what happens to your field of view?
A
Stays the same
B
Decreases
C
Increases
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The field of view is widest on the lowest power objective. When you switch to a higher power, the field of view is closes in. You will see more of an object on low power. The depth of focus is greatest on the lowest power objective.

Detailed explanation-2: -In short, as magnification increases, the field of view decreases.

Detailed explanation-3: -Light Intensity Decreases So you see less light, and the image appears dimmer. Image brightness is inversely proportional to the magnification squared. Given a fourfold increase in magnification, the image will be 16 times dimmer.

Detailed explanation-4: -4. As you increase magnification, the field of view and the light will decrease. To increase the light intensity, adjust the rheostat knob or iris diaphragm. Your microscope is parfocal, meaning when a specimen is in focus with one objective, it will be approximately in focus with other objectives.

Detailed explanation-5: -Magnification and field of vision exhibit an inverse relationship. This means that when one goes up (increases), the other goes down (decreases). As such, an increase in the magnification, such as when using a more powerful objective lens, would decrease the field of vision.
