Magnification
refers to the degree to which the image, as seen through a lens system, is larger than the object itself.
total magnification = power of ocular lens x objective lens
Resolution
refers to the minimum distance between two points that must exist for them to be seen as separate. this determines the amount of detail on the slide.
field of view
the circle or diameter of light that is seem through the ocular lense (decreases as magnification increases)
