NOTE:
1) When both FK and P eyepieces are applicable, however, it is preferable to use FK than P
eyepieces, since the FK is specially designed for photomicrography.
2) Only the objective has the resolving power, and the eyepiece serves merely to enlarge the
image resolved by the objective. When the total magnifications are same with different
combinations of eyepieces and objectives, the finer resolving details of the subject can be
obtained by the larger objective power.
