Field of View = Field Number (FN) รท Objective Magnification Higher power lenses will allow you to view tiny objects, so the angle of view will be small; low power lenses will do the opposite and let you view bigger (wider) objects. Learn more about microscope magnification here.

How do you calculate field of view magnification?
Diameter of the field of view (mm) = F / M, where F is the number of field of view (FOV) of the eyepiece, and M is the magnification (mag.) of the objective. For example: Diameter of the field of view (mm) = 20 / 40 = 0.50, where 20 is the field number of eyepiece, and 40 = objective mag. (Mag.)
What is field of view example?
Field of view (FOV) is the open, observable area a person can see through their eyes or via an optical device, such as a camera. In the case of optical devices, FOV is the maximum area that the device can capture. In other words, it answers the question: "How much can the device see?"
What is the field of view at 20x?
A 20x objective with a field number of 18 would actually have a FOV of 0.9 mm. Likewise, a 100x objective with a field number of 18 would have a FOV of 0.18 mm. The more an object is magnified, the smaller the field of view will be.
