To help compare different orders of magnitude this page lists lengths between 1 micron and 10 micron (10-6 and 10-5 m).
- Shorter distances
- 1 μm -- side of square of area 10-12 m2
- 1 μm -- edge of cube of volume 10-18 m3
- 7 μm -- diameter of the nucleus of typical eukariotic cell
- 6 μm -- anthrax spore
- 7 μm -- width of strand of spider web[1]
