Cell structures

Easy

A student uses a transmission electron microscope to study organelle structures inside a plant leaf palisade cell.

A diagram representing a chloroplast from this cell is shown below:

A diagram representing a chloroplast with a horizontal double-headed arrow labeled W indicating its maximum width

The measured width of the chloroplast image $W$ is $mm52\text{ mm}$ . The image of this organelle has been magnified by $8000×8000\times$ .

Calculate the actual width of the chloroplast $W$ in millimetres ( $mm\text{mm}$ ). Give your answer in standard form.
