At low power on the compound microscope, the diameter of the field of view is 4 millimeters. This is reduced to 1.7 millimeters when you switch to medium power and further reduced to 0.4 millimeters when you switch to high power. Covert the measurment for the field of view from millimeters to microns, the conventional unit of measurment in microscopy. There are 1000 microns in one millimeter.
Low power: 4mm= 4,000um
Medium power: 1.7mm= 1,700um
High power: 0.4mm= 400um

What is the relationship between magnification and the diameter of the field of view?
Magnification is inversely proportional to the diameter of the field of view.
How do you determine the radius if you only have the diameter?
to determine the radius if you only have the diameter, you divided the diameter by 2. then there you have it ! you have the radius !
When viewing objects under power the field of view is larger field of view but not as much view?
low
How is the diameter and circumference on a circle approximate to pi?
the diameter mutliplied by pi is the circumference. From a different view the circumference divided by diameter is pi.
Can a calibrated ocular micrometer measure the diameter of the field?
Yes, a calibrated ocular micrometer can be used to measure the diameter or length of a field or object. Essentially, that is all that it is used for.
