Calculating The Total Magnification And Field Of View Diameter - Leica M165 FC User Manual

Calculating the Total Magnification and Field of View Diameter

Parameter
MO Magnification of the objective
ME Magnification of the eyepiece
z Magnification of the changer position
q Tube factor, e.g. 1.5× for coaxial incident light, 1.6× for 45°
ErgoTube
r Factor 1.25x if the planachromatic and planapochromatic
objectives of the MZ125/MZ16 are used on the MS5, MZ6,
MZ75 or MZ95
NFOV Field number of the eyepiece. Field numbers are printed on the
eyepieces: 10× = 21, 16× = 14, 25× = 9.5, 40× = 6.
Calculation example: Magnification in the binocular tube:
MTOT VIS = MO × ME × z × q × r
or
1 × 25 × 4 × 1.5 × 1.25 = 187.5×
