Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The ____ of the microscope would show you the SMALLEST field of view.
A
low power objective
B
medium power objective
C
high power objective
D
ocular
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: The eyepiece/ocular of the microscope would show you most Zoomed-in image, or the smallest field of view.

Detailed explanation-2: -A scanning objective lens provides the lowest magnification power of all objective lenses.

Detailed explanation-3: -Field of View Formula: Higher power lenses will allow you to view tiny objects, so the angle of view will be small; low power lenses will do the opposite and let you view bigger (wider) objects. Learn more about microscope magnification here.

Detailed explanation-4: -The field of view is largest on the lowest power objective. When you switch to a higher power, the field of view closes in towards the center. You will see more of an object on low power. Therefore, it is best to find an object on low power, center it, and then switch to the next higher power and repeat.

Detailed explanation-5: -The higher the power of magnification, the smaller the field of view. For example, if you determine that your field of view is 2.5 mm in diameter using a 10X ocular and 4X objective, you will be able to determine what the field of view will be with the high power objective by using the above formula.
