  2. Orders of magnitude (length) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(length)

    The term myriometer (abbr. mom, equivalent to 100 micrometers; frequently confused with the myriameter, 10 kilometers) [97] is deprecated; the decimal metric prefix myrio-[98] is obsolete [99] [100] [101] and was not included among the prefixes when the International System of Units was introduced in 1960.

  3. Optical unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_unit

    Optical units are dimensionless units of length used in optical microscopy. They are used to express distances in terms of the numerical aperture of the system and the wavelength of the light used for observation. Using these units allows comparison of the properties of different microscopes. [1]

  4. Ocular micrometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocular_micrometer

    An ocular micrometer or eyepiece micrometer is a glass disk, engraved with a ruled scale, that fits in an eyepiece of a microscope, [1] [2] which is used to measure the size of microscopic objects through magnification under a microscope. When the eyepiece micrometer is calibrated using a stage micrometer, the length of the divisions on the ...

  6. Order of magnitude - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_magnitude

    The table shows what number the order of magnitude aim at for base 10 and for base 1 000 000. It can be seen that the order of magnitude is included in the number name in this example, because bi- means 2, tri- means 3, etc. (these make sense in the long scale only), and the suffix -illion tells that the base is 1 000 000 .

  7. Orders of magnitude (volume) - Wikipedia

  9. Microscopic scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microscopic_scale

    The microscopic scale (from Ancient Greek μικρός (mikrós) 'small' and σκοπέω (skopéō) 'to look (at); examine, inspect') is the scale of objects and events smaller than those that can easily be seen by the naked eye, requiring a lens or microscope to see them clearly. [1]
