1 E-4 m
To help compare different orders of magnitude this page lists lengths between 10-4 m and 10-3 m (100 µm and 1 mm).
- Distances shorter than 100 µm
- 100 micrometre is equal to
- 1/10th of a millimetre,
- 0.00394 inches.
- 125 µm — length of a dust mite
- 200 µm — typical length of Paramecium caudatum, a ciliate protist
- 340 µm — approximate size of the dot at the end of this sentence. Also the length of a single pixel on a 17" monitor with a resolution of 1024*768
- 500 µm — MEMS micro-engine
- 500 µm — diameter of a human ovum
