Specimen under oil immersion power is about 1/10 diameter field. Earlier it was determined that your field size when using scanning power was 5mm, what is the size of the specimen?
Answer
500 µ m
The specimen is 500 µ m which is found by finding 1/10 of the field of view that is 5mm
Explanation
1mm = 1000 µ m
1/10 diameter field
Knowing that the field of view is 5mm
then 1/10 of the field of view that is covered by the specimen is
5/10 = 0.5 mm
if 1 mm is 1000 µ m
then 0.5 mm is 0.5*1000=500 µ m
