Question
he myelin sheath of this neurone is 250 nm in thickness.(i) Calculate the magnification of this electron micrograph.
Solution
To calculate the magnification of the electron micrograph, you need to know the actual size of the myelin sheath on the micrograph (in mm or cm, for example). The magnification is calculated by dividing the size of the object on the micrograph by the actual size of the object. However, you have only provided the actual size of the myelin sheath (250 nm), not its size on the micrograph.
Here is the formula for calculating magnification:
Magnification = Size of object on micrograph / Actual size of object
If you provide the size of the myelin sheath on the micrograph, I can help you calculate the magnification.
