The actual size of an image in a photograph depends on the total magnification.
magnification of image in negative or on microscope =
= (power of lens 1) * (power of lens 2) * ... * (power of lens n)
magnification of image on a photographic print =
= (magnification of image on negative) * (enlargement during printing)
actual size of image =
= (size of image) / (total magnification)
