What are you thinking so far?
What is the equation for calculating magnification?
Remember to pay attention to the units

The formula for magnification is Image size ÷ actual size. Are you sure all the units are correct?

Hey @Nnnooorrraaa 👋
Have you got the right units? Should it be 25μm (micrometers)
Start by converting 1.5cm into μm so that both values have the same units

If the eukaryotic cell is 25m in diameter and you can't see it, maybe you need glasses instead of a microscope 🫤
