2. What is the Magnification, Field of View, Working Distance, and Depth of Field?
Magnification vs. Working Distance
Most Dino-Lite microscopes have variable magnification. As with traditional microscopes, a higher magnification means shorter working distance, and smaller field of view and depth of field, and a lower magnification will give a longer working distance, larger field of view and depth of field.
