### Transcription for Educational Website:

#### Image Description:
The image shows a view through a microscope with a magnification of 100x. Inside the viewing circle, there are two scales: the eyepiece graticule at the top and the stage micrometer at the bottom. 

- **Eyepiece Graticule:** The scale is marked from 0 to 100 with increments of 10 units.
- **Stage Micrometer:** The scale is similarly marked from 40 to 70 with increments of 10 units.

The graticule and micrometer scales are used to measure the size of particles through the microscope.

#### Measurement Task:
Apatite crystals were measured using the 100x magnification objective. The particle sizes of the samples are recorded as 5, 7, 9, and 11 units, respectively.

#### Question:
What is the average particle size of the apatite sample?

To calculate the average particle size:
\[ \text{Average} = \frac{5 + 7 + 9 + 11}{4} = 8 \]

Thus, the average particle size of the apatite sample is 8 units.
