  Hi evec,
  The microscopes magnify the cells between 40 times and 30,000 times!!! If you look at my profile the first one in the description of my day is 40x then the colour ones are about 63x finally the one of a single cell is about 8000x. Under the section about me and my work the virus is about 30,000 times!!
  We have to magnify these things so much to be able to see them because everything is so tiny.
  Hope that helps
  Pam 🙂
