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 Illumination and FOV A technical overview... Here we define Field of View (FOV) by detector size and microscope objective, and Field of Illumination (FOI) relative to the detector and in the image plane. In a microscope system, the camera is coupled via a C-mount adapter and located in a primary image plane (PIP). The PIP is our reference for the definition of FOV and FOI. In the PIP, FOV is defined as the extent of the image sensor in X and Y dimensions. For consistency we define FOI as the extent of illumination in the PIP. This is convenient because we can easily calculate overlap between the two.
