1 E-6 m

To help compare different orders of magnitude this page lists lengths between 1 micrometre and 10 micrometre (10^-6 and 10^-5 m). See also lengths of other orders of magnitude.

• Distances shorter than 1 µm
• 1 µm is equal to:
  • the side of square of area 10^-12 m²
  • edge of cube of volume 10^-18 m³
• 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 eukariotic cell
• 7 µm -- width of strand of spider web [1]
• 1-10 µm -- diameter of typical bacterium
• approximately 10 µm: size of a fog, mist or cloud water droplet
• Distances longer than 10 µm
