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.
Field of View = Field Number (FN) Ã· Objective Magnification If an auxiliary lens is being used on a stereo microscope, the magnification factor of this lens should also be employed in the equation by multiplying this with the objective magnification as shown below: Field of View = FN Ã· (Objective Magnification x Auxiliary Lens Magnification)
