Finding Total Magnification and the Diameter of the Field of View When using a Microscope
Total Magnification = (power of the eye piece) x (Power of the objective lens)
Field of View = diameter of circle you can see for each magnification
Using a ruler, you find the field of view for low power (4.5 mm)Then, from this measurement, the FOV for the other powers is calculated using the formula:
FOVx = FOV low x Maglow Ex: FOVmed = 4.5mm x (40/100) = 1.8 mm
Magx
Power Total Magnification Diameter of FOV in mm Diameter in umHigh 400x 0.45 mm 450 umMedium 100x 1.8 mm 1800 umLow 40x 4.5 mm 4500 um
Actual Size of Specimen: estimate how many could fit end to end across the diameter of the field of view, then use the following formula
Size of Specimen = diameter of FOV
# of objects the fit across
Drawing Magnification: this is used to determine how many times bigger your drawing is than the actual size
Drawing Magnification = drawing size
Actual size
Scale Bars: Images often carry a scale bar which is a line on the image that shows how long the line is in the real specimen. The easiest way to add a scale bar is to find the actual size of the specimen and then draw a line beside the specimen indicating the measurement

transport protein on photoreceptor
cells to malfunction
The photoreceptor cells degenerate
the production of a dysfunctional
protein that cannot perform energy
transport
that causes progressive, and
eventually total, loss of central
vision

Stem cells are currently the only viable
treatment for this condition.
