- the size of cells and calculating magnification
- a typical plant cell may be about 0.1mm in diameter and an animal cell 0.02mm in diameter
- prokaryotic cells are smaller - often about 0.02mm long
- to describe the size of cells and sub-cellular structures, scientists use units that have different prefixes
- when a microscope is used to look at cells, scientists will often take photographs or produce drawings
- these images are many times larger than the real cell or structure
- the magnification is how many times larger the image is than the real object
- magnification= size of image/ size of real object
