Answer:

As the magnification increases, the FOV decreases.

Step-by-step explanation:

FOV is inversely proportional to the magnification. Another way to understand this is to consider that when a specimen is magnified, the microscope is zooming in on it and, consequently, seeing less of it (but in greater detail).
