Finally, the coverage rate, the number of observations, and observation duration under different sensors with different field of views (FOVs) are compared and analyzed respectively.
Science
Field of views (FOVs): from around 150 × 150 μm on day 1 of observation to 300 × 300 μm on day 25 of observation.
Science & Research
Typically, for each condition, at least 30 field of views comprising one or more cells were acquired from a total of at least 3 independent biological replicates.
Science & Research
Here we plot up an image - "dss.fits", in this case an optical observation of the area from the STScI Digitized Sky Survey - and overlay on the Chandra field of views.
Academia
The received power computed based on the Monte-Carlo method by considering the receiver aperture sizes and field of views in different water types are further analyzed and discussed.
Science
The heat wave was short enough (9 days) so that changes in APAR (e.g. through changes in the amount/orientation of leaf area or pigment composition), inferred from near-constant NDVI measured by multiple sensors with differing field of views (Figs 1a and 2b), were negligible and alterations in SIF largely reflective of underlying changes in the partitioning of the absorbed excitation energy.

For the PET imaging, the axial and transaxial field-of views (FOVs) were 4.9 cm and 8.5 cm, with an energy window of 250 750 keV, a timing window of 6 ns, a scan time of 60 minutes, and a fully 3D maximum a posterioi (MAP) reconstruction was performed resulting in a spatial resolution of 0.4×0.4×0.58 mm3 for a 128×128×83 matrix[28].

Fixed incorrect sky field-of-views (in acis...fov1.fits, and in acis...full_img2.fits) for observations with multiple observational intervals (OBI).

Fixed incorrect sky field-of-views (in acis...fov1.fits and in acis...full_img2.fits) for observations with multiple observational intervals (OBI).
Academia
State of the art field-of-views of forward looking sensing systems designed for AEB rear-end interventions are capable of addressing turning across path situations.
HST produces higher quality, more stable PSF's over larger field-of-views in a much darker sky-background than ground-based AO, and yields deeper wide-field images and low-resolution spectra than the ground.

Expert writing Tips
Best practice
When discussing camera systems or observational equipment, use "field of views" to accurately describe the area captured or observed by each device.
Common error
Avoid using the singular form "field of view" when referring to multiple cameras or sensors, as it can create ambiguity about whether you are discussing a single field or several distinct ones. Use the plural form "field of views" to clearly indicate multiple fields.

Ludwig's WRAP-UP
In summary, "field of views" is a grammatically sound and frequently used noun phrase, particularly in scientific and technical fields. As Ludwig highlights, its primary function is to define the scope of an observable area, often in the context of cameras, sensors, or other optical instruments. While it enjoys widespread acceptance, it's crucial to distinguish it from the singular "field of view" and to use it appropriately when referring to multiple distinct areas. The term appears most often in scientific literature, academic research, and news reports related to technology and imaging. Understanding its precise meaning and usage ensures clarity and accuracy in technical communication.

FAQs
How is "field of views" used in scientific research?
What is the difference between "field of view" and "field of views"?
"Field of view" refers to the area visible through a single device or from a single perspective. "Field of views" refers to multiple areas, such as those captured by several cameras in a surveillance system or multiple observations in a scientific experiment.
What are some alternative terms for "field of views"?
Depending on the context, you can use alternatives like "visual field", "viewing angle", or "range of vision". The best choice depends on whether you want to emphasize the area, the angle, or the distance of the visible space.
How does the "field of views" impact camera system design?
The "field of views" is a critical factor in designing multi-camera systems. Overlapping "field of views" can provide redundant coverage and improve object tracking, while non-overlapping "field of views" can expand the overall surveillance area. This design impacts applications from robotics to security systems.
