CALCULATIONS 1. Magnification =image size / actual size. 2. Actual size = image size / magnification. 3. Image size = actual size x magnification. EXAMPLE CALCULATION :
Step 1. Magnification = 5000
Step 2. Count the size of the bacteria (mm) -10mm. Step 3. Do the calculation = 10:5000 Step 4: 10 5000 0.002mm Step 5: Convert mm into ym using the table 0.001mmlum so 0.002mm must be 2 ym.
