A student calibrated an eyepiece graticule using a stage micrometer.

Each division of the stage micrometer was 0.01 mm.

With a X10 magnification objective lens, 10 eyepiece graticule units matched 10 divisions on the stage micrometer.

The same microscope was used with a X40, instead of a X10, magnification objective lens to measure the diameter of an alveolus. The diameter of the alveolus was found to be 96 eyepiece graticule units. The eyepiece lens was not changed.

What is the best estimate for the diameter of the alveolus?

0.960 mm

3.84 mm

The diagram shows an eyepiece graticule and a cell viewed through a microscope. When the eyepiece graticule was calibrated at this magnification, the whole length of the graticule shown covered 12 divisions of a stage micrometer scale. There were 100 divisions in 10 mm of the stage micrometer.

What is the actual length of the cell?

2.5 µm

3.6 µm

360 µm

3 mm
