Is no one going to comment on the "magnified five times under a microscope"? Five times? What kind of weak, low refraction plastic lens, cost of bubblegum microscope are you using to magnify your enormous monster ants?
Considering the size of an ant and the picture, I'd say at least 50x
What is this, a magnification for ants?
400x is more than enough to see and differentiate eukaryotic cells so I feel like 50x might be a slight overshot
At first I thought 5 orders of magnitude, but 10,000x is way off. The closest I can reckon is they mean "magnified 100% five times", i.e. 2⁵, or 32x, which seems like it could be right.
Browsing on a 32" monitor, "I wonder how they handle cat-sized ants where ever that's from".
