    How Do You Calculate the Actual Diameter of a Red Blood Cell Using a Microscope?

    thanks, so I tried this again using the ratio you gave above, but it still isn't coming out right, here's what I did: m=-(25/1.622)(25/.93)=-414.3298463 height of the image=(1.43e-3)(25cm)=.03575 height of the object=(.03575) / (-414.3298463) = -.86283912e-6 meters why is this incorrect?
