To help compare different orders of magnitude this page lists lengths between 10 micrometre and 100 micrometre (10^-5 m and 10^-4 m). See also lengths of other orders of magnitude.

Shorter lengths
10 µm, width of cotton fibre
10.6 µm, wavelength of light emitted by a carbon dioxide laser
12 µm, width of acrylic fibre
13 µm, width of nylon fibre
14 µm, width of polyester fibre
15 µm, width of silk fibre
17 µm, dust mite excreta ¹
20 µm, width of wool fibre
25.4 µm, 1/1000^th inch, commonly referred to as 1 mil in the US and 1 thou in the UK
30-50 µm, diameter of a minicolumnCortical minicolumn is a cortical column with specific response characteristics in time and space. in the human cortex
50 µm, typical length of Euglena gracilisEuglena is a well-known genus of flagellate protozoa, typical of the euglenids, and commonly found in nutrient-rich freshwater, with a few marine species. The cells vary in length from around 20 to 300 μm, and are typically cylindrical, oval, or spindl, a flagellate protist
80 µm, average width of human hair (ranges from 18 to 180 µm)
Longer lengthsTo 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 1/10th of a millimetre, 0. 00394 inches. 125 µm,
