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?
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.

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
Browsing on a 32" monitor, “I wonder how they handle cat-sized ants where ever that’s from”.
