An optical microscope has a resolution of 0.2 mu m. If the pixel size on this instrument is equal to the resolution, what would be the diameter of a cell nucleus (in pixels) for \"pyramidal neurons\" in the rat brain? In other words, lookup the typical size of a cell nucleus, and express it in terms of pixels.

Solution

cell nucleus =>10 micron=>

There are 3 microns per pixel=>number of pixels=10/3=3.33 pixels.
