How to calculate magnification

A simple video showing how to calculate the magnification of something, using onion cells as an example.

we need more teachers like u in school, quick and simple. keep it up!

[something]

got a science exam tomorrow so ty

and the geordie accent actually helps

[ahmadamin]

Thanks dude, you helped me for a whole lesson that my teacher took 40 mins and you taught me in under 3 mins, keep it up

[aeulia]

THANKS SOOO MUCH OMG I LEARNT MORE THAN I DID IN A 1 HOUR LESSON!

[kuntal]

this is the simplest explanation in the universe... Thanks

[lucyhanbury]

Love how simple this was :) easy to understand

[ImSemtex]

Dope editing, dope voice, dope video! Thanks, matey <3





really gonna help with my bio-assessment tomorrow...

[swaritvedula]

THANKS! I gotta do a project for Biology (with drawing a corn and red bean seedling) and I have to put the magnification... :D

[infinitetenzer]

Bro I was going in circles u really helped me

[kamikze]

Jesus my teacher is batshit crazy and spent 2.45 hours rambling off topic about this and this video helped SO much more. Thank you guys. May god bless yall ong

Dang is that it? Science teachers make it so much more difficult

[tomwardle]

Ur back must hurt from carrying so many people in science.

[catherinetequil]

So we use length instead of width right?

[Pikachu-Gaming]

This helped me alot i was in abig jam when i found it thanks

[rosiebrown]

Thanks mate this will help with bio exam!

Hi question!!
What is the difference between initial and final magnification?

[khanishsehgal]

R like meant to do any conversion like micro meters or whatever?

make a video on how to perform an enzyme rate of reaction experiment please

That's kinda understandable, but now if we're comparing the real object with the result object seen through the lens, it's kinda tricky. For example 1mm x 1mm object. Magnified by 1000x, what's the size of the result ? Is it :
a. 1000 milimeter x 1000 milimeter.
b. 31.62 milimeter x 31.62 milimeter = 1000 square milimeter.

I am using a usb digital microscope, and the object I'm using is the micrometer calibration ruler that comes with it. 1mm length becomes 8.5cm on my screen, I know the magnification is then multiplied by digital zoom because I stretch it to fit my screen. If using length 1mm becomes 8.5cm, that means the magnification is 85x. BUT if using AREA, like 8.5cm x8.5 cm, the result would be 7225 SQUARE milimeter, means the magnification is 7225x (including the digital zoom). The box says 1600x

So which one is right ? Since this is a usb digital microscope there is no way I could get the lens magnification, and the result is put on screen it's further magnified by the screen size, not using ocular lens for the eyes to see.

What about finding the actual size?


Like magnification is 30, 000x let’s say and it’s 6.5cm=650mm long how do u find it in micrometers
