Question
  1. The above photograph (IMAGE ATTACHED) of a cheek smear was obtained using the high-power objective of a compound microscope. What is the size of the circled cheek cell in millimeters AND nanometers? 
**Microscopic Image of a Cheek Cell**

This image showcases a magnified view of human cheek cells as seen through a microscope. The cells are stained, allowing clear visualization of the nuclei, which appear as dark purple spots. The cell membrane and cytoplasm are visible in lighter shades.

**Diagram Details:**

- **Cheek Cell Identification:** The image is labeled with an arrow pointing to a specific cheek cell, emphasizing its oval shape.
  
- **Measurement Scale:** A linear scale with marks is shown across the middle of the image, enabling size estimation of the cells.

This visual representation helps in understanding cell morphology and identifying basic cell structures in a human epithelial cell sample.
