What Objective Magnification Should I Start With? An important point to understand when working with compound microscopes and their objective lenses is that the field of view changes as the magnification changes. Typically a lower magnification objective lens will have a larger field of view, and a higher magnification objective lens will have a smaller field of view. For more information on how m …

What exactly can you view under the microscope at different magnifications? Microscope field of view changes as magnification changes. In short, as magnification increases, the field of view decreases. When looking through a high power compound microscope it can be difficult to determine what you will see through the eyepieces at different magnifications. The images below were created to help you …

A common question when viewing a microscopy image on a large screen is: What is the total magnification I am viewing on my monitor?" In order to correctly calculate the answer to this question, we must know the answer to the following four questions. What is the microscopes objective's magnification? What is the c-mount adapter's magnification? What is the diagonal measurement of the monitor in m …
