I agree with the previous responses that your image with the black calibration bar should be sufficient, BUT to satisfy your advisor:
Print your image exactly the size it will appear in your printed thesis. Measure the black bar. If it is 20 mm on the printed image, then magnification is 20/5 = 4 X. You might add to the caption, "Magnification is 4X on the printed thesis page."
Then delete the sentence before you submit your thesis for publication elsewhere.

Subject: Re: Magnification
Im sorry. I am still confuse.
I was scanning a slice of cake
So I know the size of the cake which is about 8 cm x 7 cm. I also have a ruler by the cake, which are both scanned. So I set my scale according to that ruler, and convert everything in mm... because I do not understand the concept of pixel.
I have that ruler with the cake and then did all of the cropping and duplicate with it. Attached is my pictures. Now, I put my image with the scale bar on my thesis and my advisor wants me to state the magnification of that image.
Thanks!
