A

The value of:
- Image size
- Actual size

57
Q

Unit used for specimen size under the microscope

A

UNIT: Micrometers

58
Q

Formula for computing magnification

A

Magnification = Image size (um) / Actual size (um)

59
Q

1 mm is equivalent to what in micrometers (um)?

A

1000 um

60
Q

1000 um is equivalent to what in millimeter?

A

1 mm

61
Q

Compute for the magnification

Image size: 20 mm
Actual size: 100 um

A

Magnification: 20,000 um / 100um
= 200x

20 mm > 20,000 um

62
Q

Formula for the microorganism size

A

Actual size (um): Image size / Magnification

63
Q

Compute for the microorganism size:

OIO magnification: 100x
Image size measured: 1000um

A

Actual size: 1000 um / 100 = 10 um
