Chloroplast micrograph diagram

The image length of the chloroplast from point C to point D is measured to be 72 mm. The actual length of the chloroplast is 4.5 μm4.5\,\mu\text{m}4.5μm.

Calculate the magnification of the image. Use the equation:

magnification=size of imagereal size of object \text{magnification} = \frac{\text{size of image}}{\text{real size of object}} magnification=real size of objectsize of image​
