Is the depth of field on a dissecting microscope less than the depth of field on a compound microscope?
No its actually the opposite
Does the depth of field increase or decrease when one moves to a higher magnification on a microscope?
The depth of field decreases.
What happens to the depth of field as your move from low power to high power?
Depth of field decreases from low to high. This means what you see under the microscope is blurry. If both objects are not blurry, this means you have high depth-of-field.
Does depth of field needed increase or decrease as one moves to higher magnifications with the microscope?
Do the following factors increase or decrease as one moves to higher magnifications with the microscope? Resolution, working distance, amount of light needed, and depth of field
The area of the specimen seen when looking through the microscope is the?
It depends on the particular microscope, and the magnification being used. Without these details, this question cannot be answered.
By using the idea of depth of field how can you tell which hair of 2 hairs on the slide is above the other on a microscope?
its impossible!
What is the ability to see details in a microscope called?
The depth of field is the part of a specimen that is in sharp focus; the depth of field decreases as the NA increases. The depth of focus on the other hand is the magnified image in focus on the film plane; depth of focus decreases as magnification increases.

What does microscope field mean in science?
it means to see through the microscope on a field
What does field of view mean of a microscope?
a place where the background of the object is called field in microscope
Why it is necessary to be able to focus on different depths on the microscope?
Each depth will show different parts of whatever you are looking at on the microscope. The focus improves when using the right depth and magnification.

What happens to the depth of field as the magnification increases?
As the magnification increases, the depth of field decreases.
