Scale Bars Scale Bars: images often carry a scale bar which is a horizontal line drawn on the image. The scale bar shows how long the line is in.

Presentation transcript:

Scale Bars Scale Bars: images often carry a scale bar which is a horizontal line drawn on the image. The scale bar shows how long the line is in the real specimen. This example shows a plant cell. The scale bar indicates the length of 10 microns = 10µm Notice that 10 µm is about the vertical length of the diameter of the nucleus. All other measurements from the image are made relative to this scale bar.

Magnification On an image of a specimen it is useful to show how much larger/smaller the image is than the real specimen. This is called magnification. To calculate magnification: Using a ruler measure the size of a large clear feature on the image Measure the same length on the specimen Convert to the same units of measurement Magnification = measured length of the image /measured length of the specimen Length of the actual specimen = length on the image/ magnification ( e.g. rose leaf = image length 4.2cm/ magnification 0.82 = 5cm real length
