Low-magnification Wide Field (WF) eyepiece typically used for initial specimen scanning or observing larger samples on a compound microscope.
Key Specifications
- Magnification (5x): Provides a low power magnification, which is useful for seeing a larger portion of the specimen at once.
- Field of View (14mm): This is the Field Number (FN), representing the 14mm diameter of the circular area visible through the eyepiece.
- Mounting Diameter (23.2mm): This is the International Standard (DIN) size for the eyepiece tube of most compound biological microscopes.
Primary Uses
- Scanning Samples: The 5x magnification allows for a wider perspective, making it easier to locate specific areas of interest before switching to higher-power eyepieces (like 10x or 15x).
- Large Specimens: Ideal for observing larger biological specimens, such as entire insects or plant sections, that would not fit within the field of view of higher-magnification lenses.
- Reduced Eye Fatigue: Wide Field designs are engineered to provide a comfortable viewing experience during long lab sessions by reducing the "tunnel vision" effect.
