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.
1 This technique can only image dark or strongly refracting objects effectively. 2  Diffraction limits resolution to approximately 0.2 micrometres (see: microscope). This limits the practical magnification limit to ~1500x.  Out of focus light from points outside the focal plane reduces image clarity.
