1. Identify the field of view length in the same units as yeast cell length (e.g., micrometers, if given).
2. Calculate the number of yeast cells needed by dividing the field of view length by the length of one yeast cell.
If the field of view length is given as \(L \, \text{um}\),
\text{Number of yeast cells} = \frac{L}{10 \, \text{um}}
Assume \(L = 1000 \, \text{um}\):
\text{Number of yeast cells} = \frac{1000 \, \text{um}}{10 \, \text{um}}
\text{Number of yeast cells} = 100
So the number of yeast cells needed to reach across the field of view is:
100
