Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the question is asking for the term that describes the visible area when looking through a microscope.
Recall that 'Field of view' refers to the circular area visible through the microscope lens at any given moment.
Recognize that 'Depth of field' refers to the thickness of the specimen that remains in focus at one time, not the visible area.
Know that 'Resolution' is the ability of the microscope to distinguish two close points as separate, not the visible area.
Remember that 'Magnification' is how much larger the image appears compared to the actual size, not the visible area.
