Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index 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 External link Conversion Calculator for Units of LENGTH This article is from Wikipedia.
