Solution

To calculate the real length of the palisade cell, we need to rearrange the magnification formula. The formula is:

Magnification = Image size / Actual size

Rearranging for actual size gives:

Actual size = Image size / Magnification

Substituting the given values into the formula:

Actual size = 28 mm / 400

This gives an actual size of 0.07 mm for the palisade cell.
