The diameter of the field of view of a microscope at high power magnification (400X) was measured and found to be 0.2 mm. 0000050075 00000 n 0000026149 00000 n %PDF-1.4 %���� For example, at 10x magnification 20mm might fill your field of view, whereas at 40x magnification you might only see 5mm. Under 400x, the fiber area occupies a greater portion of the viewing zone than that under 200x. 0000045340 00000 n Field Size = Field Number ÷ Objective Lens ÷ Auxiliary Lens. At 400x magnification you will be able to see 0.45mm, or 450 microns. 0000040924 00000 n 0000044056 00000 n To accurately do this, however, we need 0000002227 00000 n Field of View: When people talk about “Magnification” 400x or 200x, they often really mean the size of the fiber area compared to the entire viewing zone. 0000040013 00000 n Relationship between magnification and field of view? 0000041891 00000 n x�b```b`�x���� ,� Ā B�@Q����S�L`@L�\'�. For example, if the diameter of your field of view is 1.78 millimeters under 10x magnification, a 40x objective will be one-fourth as wide, or about 0.45 millimeters.
