A film projector and microscope give equal magnification. But a film projector is not used to see living cells because

• a living cell cannot be placed in a film projector.

• the viewer's eye is close to a microscope whereas it is far away from the projector's screen.

• a microscope produces a virtual image whereas a projector produces a real image.

• a microscope has greater resolving power than a projector.
