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.
How to Use a Microscope Compound Microscopes. Turn the revolving turret (2) so that the lowest power objective lens (eg. 4x) is clicked into position. Place the microscope slide on the stage (6) and fasten it with the stage clips. Look at the objective lens (3) and the stage from the side and turn the focus knob (4) so the stage moves upward. Move it up as far as it will go without letting the objective touch the coverslip.
