Microscope...?

Question

1.If approximately 600 of a certain bacteria can fit across your Low Power field of vision which is 2.5 times, what is the approximate size of one bacterium????

Answer 1

The ratio of field number to magnification is the Field size. Field number varies by microscope, typical value is 25mm. So,Field Size( = 25mm/2.5x = 10mm) would be 10mm. As mentioned in the description that 600 of a certain bacteria can fit across your Low Power field of vision, then 1 bacteria = 10mm/600 = 16.7µ
