Presentation transcript:

Magnification and Size Measuring biological specimens using millimetres as units

To accurately measure the size of cellular structures we need a suitable scale:

Ideally, we need a scale we can see directly alongside the cells we are observing:

Start by putting a ruler under the microscope:

Appearance of ruler at medium magnification

Appearance of tissue at medium magnification

Estimating cell size at medium magnification 12 1 mm 1mm / 12 cells = 0.083 mm 5 1mm / 5cells= 0.2 mm 1 mm

Diameter of field of view/mm Other units Diameter of field of view/mm No. of cells lengthways No. of cells widthways Mean length (mm) Mean width (mm) 1.00 5 12 0.2 0.083 1mm = 1000µm Mean length of cells = 0.2 x 1000 = 200µm Mean width of cells = 0.083 x 1000 = 83µm

Cell Magnification ____ 0.005 mm This diagram shows the general structure of an animal cell from an electron microscope. Calculate the magnification factor. Calculate the length of G - a mitochondrion. Calculate the diameter of the nucleus. Calculate the width of the cell at its widest part. ____ 0.005 mm

Plant cell magnification Diagram shows the generalised structure of a plant cell as seen with an electron microscope. Calculate the magnification factor. Calculate the width of the cell. Calculate the length of the vacuole. ____ 0.040 mm

Exam tip Magnification of an Illustration = Size of Illustration / Actual Size For example, a magnification of 1x means the illustration is the same size as the object, 100x means the illustration is 100 times bigger than the object, etc. It is important that you first calculate or measure the actual size of an object, and from that calculate the magnification of the illustration . Always draw the magic triangle and fill in the information you have. Always check your units.
