Question

What happens to the field of view when you change from a low-power objective lens to a higher-power objective lens? Does it increase or decrease

Answer 1

It decreases

Step-by-step explanation:

"The field of view is largest on the lowest power objective. When you switch to a higher power, the field of view closes in towards the center. You will see more of an object on low power. Therefore, it is best to find an object on low power, center it, and then switch to the next higher power and repeat."
