1. Complete the following chart by calculating the missing lens or total magnification:
80X 5X
10X 40X
10X 100X
500X 50X
2. Calculate the diameter of the Field of View (FOV) on low power for each diagram which shows
the lines of a ruler. Pretend the distance between all lines is 1.5 mm. Objects in the field of view
are usually measured in micrometers (um) To convert, a field of view of 0.8mm, times it by 1000
to get 800um. 0.8mm x 1000 = 800 um.

3. A microscope has a LOW power objective with a magnification of 10X and a HIGH power
objective with a magnification of 40X. If the LOW power field of view diameter is 4.3 mm,
calculate the diameter of the HIGH power field of view, in millimeters and in micrometers.

5. Determine the diameter of ONE onion cell shown using the following microscope drawing where
the diameter of the field of view is 3.7 mm on low power.
