Answer:

15 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The diameter of a RBC = 7.5 µm

It is magnified 2000 times.

We need to find the diameter of the image seen through the microscope in millimeters.

The size of the diameter is given by :


d=2000* 7.5\\\\=15000\ \mu m\\\\or\\\\d=15\ mm

So, the diameter of the image seen through the microscope is 15 mm.
