microscopic organism. The eyepiece of the microscope has a
magnification of 10x, and the objective lens being used has a
magnification of 40x. The student draws a detailed diagram of a cell they
observed. Later, they measure the cell's size in their drawing and find it to
be 5 millimeters (mm) in length. What is the actual size of the cell in
micrometers (μm)?
A 0,0125 μm
B 0,125 μm
C 1,25 μm
D 12,5 μm
