Microscope calculations

Measure the diameter of the field of view of the low view of the microscope.
Write it down in mm.  You can convert this to microns by x1000

Now calculate the diametre of the field of view.



The formula we use:

dFOV 2    =      dFOV 1    x    magnification of 1
                         ___________________________
                                          magnification of 2

or

dFOV medium =   dFOVlow   x low magnification
                              _________________________
                                           magnification of medium


dFOV high =  dFOVlow   x low magnification
                       _________________________
                                 magnification of high

Lab 2 :  demonstrate that you can estimate the size of an object.

Draw any object under low, medium and high and indicate the diametre of the field of view and also the length of something under the microscope.
