Calculations:
- Micrometre to Millimetre Conversion: 8.5 mm corresponds to 8.5 x 103 µm.
- Micrometre to Micrometre Conversion: The stage micrometre scale is calibrated in micrometres. Therefore, the diameter of the bacterial cell is directly given as 450 µm.
- Micrometre to Nanometre Conversion: 450 µm = 450 x 10-9 nm = 4.5 x 10-7 nm.
Answer: The actual diameter of the bacterial cell is 450 µm, which is equivalent to 4.5 x 10-7 nm.
