More on Microscopes(moron microscopes?) Field of View,Resolving Power and Depth of Field
Field of View • Portion of specimen viewable at the same time • As magnification increases -> Field of view decreases. • Lowest power objective has widest field of view. That’s why it is used to “scan” the slide.
Resolving Power • Ability to distinguish two points as separate and distinct instead of smooshing them together. • Impressionist Art • As magnifying power increases -> Resolving power increases…to a point
Sooooooooooooo…….. Where was resolution seen in the last lab?
Depth of field • Depth or “zone”, from background to foreground that is in focus at once Deep DOF Shallow DOF
Depth of field • In microscopes, as magnifying power increases -> Depth of Field decreases (gets shallower)
Sooooooooooooo…….. Where was depth of field seen in the last lab?
