1 E-6 m
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
To help compare different orders of magnitude this page lists some items with lengths between 10-6 and 10-5 m (between 1 and 10 micrometres, or µm).
- 1 µm is equal to
- 1 µm — Limit of resolution for conventional Photolithography techniques.
- 1.55 µm — wavelength of light used in optical fibre
- 6 µm — anthrax spore
- 6-8 µm — diameter of a human red blood cell
- 7 µm — diameter of the nucleus of typical eukaryotic cell
- 7 µm — width of strand of spider web [1]
- 1-10 µm — diameter of typical bacterium
- 9 µm — the size of the Earth if the Sun is scaled to the size of a marble (1cm).
- about 10 µm — size of a fog, mist or cloud water droplet
