CCTV Field of View Calculation - field of view of a camera
Attaching a 1.88x teleconversion lens to a 72 mm lens gives an angle of view equivalent to a 135 mm medium telephoto lens.

The angle indicating the width of the field included in the photo is called the "angle of view." A wide-angle lens has a wide angle of view and a telephoto lens has a narrow angle of view.
Microscopeparts
A conversion lens is attached to a lens to enable it to take photos with a wider angle or stronger telephoto magnification.
Even if the focal lengths of the lenses of two digital cameras are the same, the angle of view can vary depending on the size of the image sensor used in each. To make it easier to understand angle of view, focal length is often expressed as "__ mm equivalent," which means it has been converted to the 35 mm film camera format that has been historically the most common. Here on this site also, we state focal lengths that are converted into 35 mm film camera format.
Types ofmicroscopeobjectives
The distance from the center of the lens to the image focal point (=image sensor surface) is known as the focal length. It is expressed in millimeter (mm) units. A lens with a short focal length is a wide-angle lens and one with a long focal length is a telephoto lens.

Most compound microscopes come with interchangeable lenses known as objective lenses. Objective lenses come in various magnification powers, with the most common being 4x, 10x, 40x, and 100x, also known as scanning, low power, high power, and (typically) oil immersion objectives, respectively. Let’s take a closer look at each of the different magnifications of objective lenses and when you would use them.

* The GXR interchangeable unit camera system has camera units with a fixed focal length lens and camera units with a zoom lens.
This is a lens used for close-up photography. A macro lens can shoot from a distance closer to the subject than a regular lens. The GXR interchangeable unit camera system has a camera unit with a 50 mm macro lens. Link to more information on GXR camera unit
There are several other objective lens magnifications available with utility for particular applications. The 2x objective, widely used in pathology, has only ½ the magnification of a 4x scanning lens, thus providing a better overview of the sample on the slide. The 50x oil immersion objective, often used in place of the 40x objective, is used as a gold standard for observing blood smears. The 60x objective, often available in either dry or oil immersion, provides 50% greater magnification than a 40x lens. The 60x dry is sometimes chosen over a 100x oil immersion lens for higher magnification without the need to use immersion oil. Finally the 100x dry objective doesn’t need immersion oil to deliver high magnification (still 1000x when combined with 10x eyepieces). However, the numerical aperture (an indication of resolving power of an objective) of a 100x dry objective is much lower than that of a 100x oil immersion objective and, as a result, the ability of the lens to resolve fine details in the specimen is much lower, too.
The oil immersion objective lens provides the most powerful magnification, with a whopping magnification total of 1000x when combined with a 10x eyepiece. But the refractive index of air and your glass slide are slightly different, so a special immersion oil must be used to help bridge the gap. Without adding a drop of immersion oil, the oil immersion objective lens will not function correctly, the specimen will appear blurry, and you will not achieve an ideal magnification or resolution. Oil immersion lenses are also available from some manufacturers in lower magnifications, and provide higher resolution than their "high dry" counterparts.

It is important to always use the correct immersion media (e.g. air, water, oil, etc.) that is specified by your objective lens.
The low power objective lens has more magnification power than the scanning objective lens, and it is one of the most helpful lenses when it comes to observing and analyzing glass slide samples. The total magnification of a low power objective lens combined with a 10x eyepiece lens is 100x magnification, giving you a closer view of the slide than a scanning objective lens without getting too close for general viewing purposes.
With a zoom lens, when you turn on macro mode and move as close as possible while still keeping the subject in focus, the minimum distance to the subject and the size of the subject in the frame will differ depending on whether the lens is at a wide-angle or telephoto zoom position. With a wide-angle setting you may be too close and with a telephoto setting you may be too far away so adjust the focal length to find the one that makes it easiest to take the shots you want.
The high-powered objective lens (also called “high dry” lens) is ideal for observing fine details within a specimen sample. The total magnification of a high-power objective lens combined with a 10x eyepiece is equal to 400x magnification, giving you a very detailed picture of the specimen in your slide.

Attaching a 0.75x wide conversion lens to a 28 mm lens gives an angle of view equivalent to a 21 mm ultra wide-angle lens.
A scanning objective lens provides the lowest magnification power of all objective lenses. 4x is a common magnification for scanning objectives and, when combined with the magnification power of a 10x eyepiece lens, a 4x scanning objective lens gives a total magnification of 40x. The name “scanning” objective lens comes from the fact that they provide observers with about enough magnification for a good overview of the slide, essentially a “scan” of the slide. Some objectives with even lower power are discussed in Specialty Objectives below.
