Size matters micron = micrometer = 1/1,000,000 meter

diameter of human hair = ~20 microns

Microscopic units of measurement

Regents Biology

1 metre (m) = ________ millimetres (mm)

1 mm = ________ microns (µm)

1 µm = ________ nanometres (nm)

1 mm = ________ nm

1 m = ________ µm

1 m =________ nm

Regents Biology

1 m = 1,000 mm = 103mm

1 mm = 1,000 µm= 103µm

1 µm = 1,000 nm= 103nm

1 mm = 1,000,000 nm = 106nm

1 m = 1,000,000 µm = 106µm

1 m = 1,000,000,000nm =109 nm

Regents Biology

10-3 m = ________

10-6 m = ________

10-9 m = ________

Regents Biology

10-3 m = 0.001m = 1 mm

10-6 m = 0.000001 = 1 µm

10-9 m = 0.000000001= 1nm

Magnification

Magnification = ocular lens x objective lens

A microscope has an eyepiece lens with a power

of 20X. The objective lens being used has a

power of 10X. What is the total magnification?

Regents Biology

Using Scale Bars

Using a scale bar:The image at right is of a virus-like

particle. The bar represents 50nm.

Calculate the actual size of the

image. 50nm

Regents Biology

1. Measure the scale bar

50nm=1cm

2. Measure the image

Let’s say it was 2cm.

Actual size: Image size = constant

50:1 = X:2

X=2*50

=100nm

Using a scale bar:

Image size

Actual size Magnification

Measure with ruler Need to figure this out

Regents Biology

1. Measure the size of the image.

…..2cm (20mm)

2. Find the actual size of the sample

…..100nm Or 1.0 x 102

3. Convert measured size into unit on scale bar.

(in this case, nm)

mm µm 1mm = 1000 µm

20 x 1000µm =20,000 µm

µm nm 1 µm = 1000 nm

20,000 x 1000nm = 20,000,000nm OR 2.0 x 107nm
