You are using a standard microscope with an \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.10NA 4 \times }}\) objective and switch to a \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.65NA 40 \times }}\) objective. What are the acceptance angles for each? Compare and comment on the values. Which would you use first to locate the target area on of your specimen? (See Figure\({\rm{26}}{\rm{.17}}\).)
