As you increase magnification what happens to the field of view

As the magnification increases, the FOV decreases.

Explanation:

FOV is inversely proportional to the magnification. Another way to understand this is to consider that when a specimen is magnified, the microscope is zooming in on it and, consequently, seeing less of it (but in greater detail).

a and b sometimes have a positive value
