Magnification is inversely proportional to the diameter of the field of view.
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

the diameter mutliplied by pi is the circumference. From a different view the circumference divided by diameter is pi.
the field of view
The field of view would be 80 times the diameter.
Magnification is inversely proportional to the diameter of the field of view.
The field of view's diameter is inversely proportional to magnification; thus, the 5.6mm diameter at 40x magnification would become 140mm at 1x magnification. Mathematically, Field of view diameter = FOV1 / Magnification1 = FOV2 / Magnification2.
To calculate a microscope's field of view, you can measure the diameter of the field using a transparent ruler or a stage micrometer. Then, use this measurement to calculate the field of view by multiplying the diameter by a conversion factor specific to the objective lens magnification being used.
The worm is about half the diameter of the field of view.
As the magnification of a microscope increases, the diameter of the field of view decreases. This is because higher magnification allows for more detailed observation of objects, but with a narrower field of view. Conversely, lower magnification provides a wider field of view but with less magnification.
Field diameter is calculated by measuring the distance across the field of view of a microscope, then dividing that measurement by the magnification of the objective lens being used. This gives you the field diameter in micrometers.
This process is called calculating the field of view diameter on a microscope. It involves measuring the diameter of the field of view using a ruler and knowing the magnification of the objective lens to determine the actual size of objects viewed under the microscope.
Knowing the diameter of the field of view at a given magnification helps in estimating the size or distance of objects being viewed under the microscope. It also aids in calculating the area being observed and comparing the relative sizes of different objects in the field of view. Additionally, it provides important information for accurately measuring and identifying microscopic specimens.
The diameter of the field of view decreases when changing from low to high power magnification. This is because higher magnification zooms in closer on the specimen, limiting the area of the specimen that can be seen at one time.
The size of the object would depend on its distance from the observer. The diameter of the field of view refers to the circular area you can see through a microscope or similar device and not the actual size of an object.
The field of view (FOV) of a microscope refers to the area visible through the lens. It is determined by the diameter of the microscope's field diaphragm and the objective lens magnification. A higher magnification will typically result in a smaller field of view, while lower magnifications will have a larger field of view.
