Magnification (AQA A-Level Biology): Quizzes

How much larger image appears vs real object

The specimen being examined

$\frac{\text{image size}}{\text{object size}}$

$\frac{\text{image size}}{\text{magnification}}$

$\text{magnification} \times \text{object size}$

Both measurements use the same units

$10^{-6}$ m

$\times 100,000$

Not converting to the same units first

Magnification = size; resolution = detail
