Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What happens to the field of view when you go from scanning to high power?
A
it increases
B
it decreases
C
it stays the same
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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-3: -In short, as magnification increases, the field of view decreases.

Detailed explanation-4: -Changing from low power to high power increases the magnification of a specimen. The amount an image is magnified is equal to the magnification of the ocular lens, or eyepiece, multiplied by the magnification of the objective lens.

Detailed explanation-5: -The maximum field of view of the microscope is affected by the objective lens, the tube-diameter of the microscope’s internal optical-system, the eyepieces, the scientific camera sensor size, and the camera mounting adaptor.
