Scientists investigated the stomatal density on leaves of a certain species of cherry laurel. They used a light microscope to count the number of stomata in four square fields of view.

The edge of each square field of view measured 400 μm400\text{ }\mu\text{m}400 μm.

The number of stomata recorded in the four fields of view were:

  • Field 1: 181818
  • Field 2: 222222
  • Field 3: 191919
  • Field 4: 212121

Calculate the mean stomatal density for these fields of view. Give your answer as the number of stomata per mm2\text{mm}^2mm2. Show your working.
