Do you know what the magnification level is for the photo “corrosion sites on steel surface?”

  I don’t expect to see comments on this page very often. We were taking those photos with a light stage microscope. I am going to say that this was at 50x. Photos were taken been probably about 1983-84. I doubt that it was at 100x because we needed a depth of field.
