66. S U M M A R Y : HOW DO YOU CALCULATE THE SIZE OF A SPECIMEN UNDER YOUR MICROSCOPE? 1. MEMORIZE THE 3 FIELD DIAMETERS LOW = 4.5 mm, or 4,500  m MEDIUM = 1.8 mm, or 1,800  m HIGH = 0.45 mm, or 450  m 2. ESTIMATE WHAT FRACTION OF THE FIELD DIAMETER YOUR SPECIMEN IS, (OR FIND HOW MANY SPECIMENS WOULD FIT END-TO-END) 3. MULTIPLY THAT FRACTION TIMES THE FIELD DIAMETER (OR DIVIDE THE NUMBER THAT FIT INTO THE FIELD DIAMETER)
