In a transmission electron micrograph, a spherical transport vesicle, structure V, has the following measurement:

  • Real volume = 113,040 nm3113,040\text{ nm}^3113,040 nm3

The volume of a sphere is calculated using the equation:

volume=43πr3 \text{volume} = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 volume=34​πr3

where rrr is the real radius of the sphere.

The diameter of the image of structure V in the micrograph is 4.5 mm4.5\text{ mm}4.5 mm.

Calculate the magnification of structure V in the micrograph.

Use π=3.14\pi = 3.14π=3.14.
