1 E-7 m

To help compare different orders of magnitude this page lists lengths between 10^-7 and 10^-6 m (100 nm and 1 µm).

Distances shorter than 100 nm
100 nm — greatest particle size that can fit through a surgical mask
120 nm — greatest particle size that can fit through a ULPA filter [1]
125 nm — standard depth of pits on compact discs (width: 500 nm, length: 850 nm to 3.5 µm)
180 nm — typical length of the rabies virus
200 nm — typical size of a Mycoplasma bacterium, among the smallest bacteria
280 nm — near ultraviolet wavelength
300 nm — greatest particle size that can fit through a HEPA filter
380–420 nm — wavelength of violet light (see color and optical spectrum)
420–440 nm — wavelength of indigo light
440–500 nm — wavelength of blue light
500–520 nm — wavelength of cyan light
520–565 nm — wavelength of green light
565–590 nm — wavelength of yellow light
590–625 nm — wavelength of orange light
625–740 nm — wavelength of red light
Distances longer than 1 µm
