The larger the magnification value, the smaller the field of view. This is because a larger magnification zooms into the object so you can see the small details, but not the whole picture.

On the other hand, the smaller the magnification value, the larger the field of view. For example, you can see the whole sky without a telescope, but if you look at the sky with a telescope that has a magnification, then you can only see a small section of the sky, though more detailed.

The microscope magnification that should be used to observe the largest field of view of an insect wing is 20x (Option 1). An optical microscope has different magnifications of objective lenses.

  • Most optical microscopes contain interchangeable objective lenses with different magnifications.

  • These objective lenses are scanning lens (4x), low-moderate power lens (10x), high power lens (40x), and oil immersion lens (100x).

  • In the case of a scanning lens (4x), when it is coupled with a 10x eyepiece lens, then the total magnification is 40x (4* 10 = 40x).

In conclusion, the microscope magnification that should be used to observe the largest field of view of an insect wing is 20x (Option 1). An optical microscope has different magnifications of objective lenses.
