Does depth of field increase or decrease with magnification?

As magnification increases, the depth of field decreases because the specimen is more zoomed in

What is depth of field?

the range of depth that can be in focus on the specimen

does resolution increase with magnification?

as magnification increases so does resolution

what is resolution?

the ability of a microscope to distinguish between two points that are close together.

As magnification increases does filed of view increase or decrease?

Field of view decreases as magnification increases, meaning a smaller area of the specimen is visible. as magnification increases the filed of view decreases. Less specimen is seen because it is more zoomed in

what is the field of view?

what you can see when you look intot he eyepiece

What is a compund microscope?
