Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The diameter of the field of view is 1450 Micrometers and 8 fungi fruiting bodies are observed across the view. What is the size of one fungal fruiting bodies?
A
116 um
B
8 um
C
145 um
D
181 um
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -At 400x magnification you will be able to see 0.45mm, or 450 microns.

Detailed explanation-2: -Based on optical physics, the diameter of the field of view can be reliably derived by a simple formula: Diameter of the field of view (mm) = F / M, where F is the number of field of view (FOV) of the eyepiece, and M is the magnification (mag.) of the objective.

Detailed explanation-3: -Your microscope has 10X oculars. The diameter of the field of view measured 2.0 mm when using the 10X objective.

Detailed explanation-4: -The diameter of field of view (fov) is 0.184 millimeters (184 micrometers). This corresponds to a 0.46 millimeter fov at 400 x magnification.
