Laboratory Skills Assessment

How many millimeters wide is the field of view shown? 12.0 mm

Laboratory Skills Assessment

How many millimeters wide is the field of view shown? 12.0 mm

High Power Objective lens = 40XLow Power Objective Lens = 10X

High Power Field of view = Diameter of the Low Power field of view ÷ (HP ÷ LP)

(HP) ÷ (LP) ------ 40X ÷ 10X = 4

2000µ ÷ 4 = 500µ

Organism 1: Approx. 1.3 cm

Field of View: Approx. 3.3 cm

500µ * 1.3 cm / 3.3 cm = 197µ

500μ * 0.56 cm / 3.3 cm = 84.8μ

500µ * 0.75 cm / 3.3 cm = 113.6μ
