This magnification value determines the diameter of the field of view when the low power objective is used. A microscope's field of view refers to the diameter of the circular optical light that is visible when viewing an object under the microscope. This value forms an inverse relationship with magnification, which means that increasing the magnification results in the reduction of the field of view.
A compound microscope. A compound microscope is a magnifying instrument that uses two types of lens to magnify object. The two types of lenses include the eyepiece lens and the objective lens. The objective lens creates a resolved image that is then magnified by the eyepiece lens for viewing. It also has different zoom levels of magnification; hence it is referred to as the compound microscope.
