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.
4. Objectives I. The objective I â types, aberrations. There are three individual pieces of glassware used to illuminate the specimen and form the image. These are the condenser, objective and eyepiece(s), and each will be dealt with separately in this and the next two articles in the series. We will then return to the objective in part 7, for it is of prime importance in forming the image, and is usually the best engineered (and hence most expensive!) individual piece of equipment on the microscope. Essentially, the objective is the microscope. Since a large part of the value of your microscope is represented by the objectives rather than any other single item of equipment, it is worth knowing the about the different types of objective that are available. The magnification ratio of a microscope objective is very large, ranging from Ã1 right up to Ã100.
