Describe the changes in the field of view and the amount of available light when going from low to high power using the compound microscope. it becomes blurry. The eye of the scope is also a lot closer to the specimen so you can get a better view not of the cells but inside the cells.

How is the field of view affected by the change in objectives?
The field of view is largest on the lowest power objective. When you switch to a higher power, the field of view closes in towards the center. You will see more of an object on low power.
How does the amount of available light change when going from low to high power?
The light intensity decreases as magnification increases. There is a fixed amount of light per area, and when you increase the magnification of an area, you look at a smaller area. So you see less light, and the image appears dimmer.
Why does the specimen must be centered in the field of view on low power before going to high power?
You must have the object centered before you change objectives to increase the magnification, because the field of view becomes smaller; if the object is off to the side, it may disappear when you go to higher magnification. For best viewing at high power, white light is essential.
What are 2 procedures that should be used to properly handle a light microscope?
When carrying the light microscope, handlers must put one hand on the base at all times, to avoid dropping it, while the other hand should be on the arm. The microscope must never be carried upside down, since the ocular will fall out. It should never be swung when it is carried, according to Miami University.
Why does field of view decreases as magnification increases?
The light intensity decreases as magnification increases. There is a fixed amount of light per area, and when you increase the magnification of an area, you look at a smaller area. So you see less light, and the image appears dimmer. ... Going to high power on a microscope decreases the area of the field of view.
How does the field of view work on a microscope?
Field of View = Field Number (FN) ÷ Objective Magnification
You will have to multiply the eyepiece magnification by the objective magnification to find the total magnification before dividing the field number. For instance, if your eyepiece reads 10X/22, and the magnification of your objective lens is 40.
What part of the microscope changes the objective lens?
Revolving Nosepiece or Turret: This is the part that holds two or more objective lenses and can be rotated to easily change power. Objective Lenses: Usually you will find 3 or 4 objective lenses on a microscope.
How does magnification affect the image of the objects?
A simple microscope or magnifying glass (lens) produces an image of the object upon which the microscope or magnifying glass is focused. This light is refracted and focused by the lens to produce a virtual image on the retina. ...
What happens to the field of view as the magnification increases?
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.
What happens to the field of view while adjusting the iris diaphragm?
Closing the iris diaphragm will reduce the amount of illumination of the specimen but increases the amount of contrast. ... If the iris diaphragm is closed too far then the specimen will be too dark to clearly view. If it is too far open then the specimen will appear to be "washed out" and perhaps also barely visible.
What happens when you move the iris diaphragm lever?
When using the 4x microscope objective lens, the iris diaphragm lever should be pushed all the way to the right. When this lever is moved to the right, less light is sent through the condenser, resulting in an image that is not too bright.
How does the diaphragm opening affect the clarity of the image?
Opening the diaphragm too much results in glare and loss of contrast, while closing it too far results in increased diffraction and loss of resolution. An intermediate position is optimum, which corresponds to an opening size of between 60 and 90 percent.
Which parts should you be holding in carrying the microscope?
Hold the microscope with one hand around the arm of the device, and the other hand under the base. This is the most secure way to hold and walk with the microscope. Avoid touching the lenses of the microscope. The oil and dirt on your fingers can scratch the glass.
What about in handling and carrying the microscope?
Always keep your microscope covered when not in use. Always carry a microscope with both hands. Grasp the arm with one hand and place the other hand under the base for support.
What adjustment knob is used with high power?
Use ONLY the fine adjustment knob to focus on high power. NEVER USE THE COARSE FOCUS KNOB ON HIGH POWER! The high power lens should be very close to your slide when in proper focus. If you turn the coarse adjustment knob while on high power, the objective could easily break your slide.
