Question 1

Identify what is missing from the unit conversion diagram.

Answer 1

Question 2

How do we calculate the miagnificaiton of an image?

Answer 2

Magnification = Image Size ÷ Actual Size

Question 3

1 m in µm =

Answer 3

1 x 10⁶ µm

Question 4

What can we use to help rearrange the equations for calculating image size, actual size and magnificaiton?

Answer 4

Question 5

Identify what is missing from the unit conversion diagram.

Answer 5

Question 6

How should you calculate magnificaiton if there is a ‘scale bar’ present on a photomicrograph?

Answer 6

You are given the Actual Size next to the scale bar

Measure the Image Size using a ruler

Magnificaiton = Image Size ÷ Actual Size
