What is the field diameter of a compound microscope at magnification 40X if the field diameter is 1600 um at magnification 100X. Show your calculations.
Added by John E.
Step 1
This means that as the magnification increases, the field diameter decreases and vice versa. We can express this relationship as follows: Field Diameter1 / Field Diameter2 = Magnification2 / Magnification1 Where: Field Diameter1 = 1600 um (at 100X Show more…
