IMAGE MAGNIFICATIONS
The images were obtained with several objective lenses and captured with a digital camera. The images were thereafter optimized with Adobe Photoshop® to better their contrast and color rendition.
The following table shows the magnifications that were used and how they translate into magnifications described in the figure legends.
