Calculating the Total Magnification and Field of View Diameter
Parameter
MO | Magnification of objective |
|
|
ME | Magnification of eyepiece |
|
|
z | Magnification changer position |
qTube factor, e.g. 1.5× for coaxial incident light, 1.6× for 45° ErgoTube™
rFactor 1.25x if the planachromatic and planapochromatic objectives of the MZ125/MZ16 are used on the MS5, MZ6, MZ75 or MZ95
NFOV Field number of the eyepiece. Field numbers are printed on the eyepieces: 10× = 21, 16× = 14, 25× = 9.5, 40× = 6.
Example
MO | 1× objective |
|
|
ME | 25×/9.5 eyepiece |

z | Zoom position 4 |
|
|
q | Coaxial reflected light 1.5×, tube factor |
|
|
r | Factor 1.25× |
