10 micrometres

To help compare different orders of magnitude, this page lists lengths between 10−5 m and 10−4 m (10 µm and 100 µm).

Distances shorter than 10 µm
* 10 µm — width of cotton fibre
* 10 µm — transistor width of the Intel 4004, the world's first commercial microprocessor
* 10-24 µm — dust mite excreta [http://www.ristenbatt.com/filt_eff.htm ¹]
* 10.6 µm — wavelength of light emitted by a carbon dioxide laser
* 15 µm — width of silk fibre
* 16 µm — diameter of a micromirror in a typical Digital micromirror device
* 17 µm — length of a tobacco mosaic virus
* 17.6 µm — one twip, a unit of length in typography
* 20 µm — width of wool fibre
* 25.4 µm — 1/1000th inch, commonly referred to as 1 mil in the U.S. and 1 thou in the UK
* 30-50 µm — diameter of a minicolumn in the human cortex
* 50 µm — typical length of "Euglena gracilis", a flagellate protist
* 50 µm — typical length of a human liver cell, an average-sized body cell
* 80 µm — average width of human hair (ranges from 18 to 180 µm)
* 91 µm — the size of the Earth if the Sun is scaled to the size of a marble (1cm).Distances longer than 100 µmCalled a decamicron
