High Power Field
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
High Power Field (HPF) when used in relation to microscopy references the area visible under the maximum magnification power of the objective being used. Often, this represents a 400x magnification level when referenced in scientific papers.
The area provides a reference unit, for example in reference ranges for urine tests.[1]
