When switching from low power to high power on a microscope, the field of view decreases significantly. This is because higher magnification lenses have a smaller diameter and focus on a smaller area of the specimen. Additionally, the depth of field is reduced, making it harder to keep the object in view as you zoom in. It’s important to center the object under low power before switching to high power to help ensure it remains in view.
