Question
The image is showing Bacillus subtillis bacteria under 400x magnification, the same magnification used on the plant and animal photos. Why are the bacterial cells so much harder to see in this microscope image?
### Microscopy Exploration

#### Image Observation
The image displays a magnified view of a sample with various scattered blue, yellow, and red splotches on a grey background. These colors likely indicate different features or materials in the sample when viewed under a microscope.

#### Magnification Options
The right side shows four magnification options:
- **4X**: Lowest magnification
- **10X**: Medium-low magnification
- **40X**: Current selection, highlighted with a blue outline
- **100X**: Highest magnification

#### Adjustment Sliders
Below the image, there are three adjustment sliders:
- **Coarse Focus**: Adjusts the overall focus of the image
- **Fine Focus**: Provides more precise focus adjustments
- **Light Adjust**: Changes the lighting to improve image visibility

These tools help in optimizing the view for detailed examination of the sample structure and composition.
