1 E-4 m

To help compare different orders of magnitude this page lists lengths between 100 µm and 1 mm (10^-4 m and 10^-3 m). See also lengths of other orders of magnitude.

• Shorter distances
• 100 micrometre is equal to:

• 125 µm -- Dust mite
• 200 µm -- Typical length of Paramecium caudatum, a ciliate protist
• 500 um -- Approximate size of the period at the end of this sentence.
