I always thought I'd be able to see more hand, not less.

You need a macroscope for that, common mistake

This is because the microscope blocks photons. OP should use a gamma camera or x-ray to see through the microscope body.

But microscopes does work by making you see less of the whole thing, but instead filling your vision with the little part of the thing you see.
