The different cell sizes of organisms viewed under electron microscope and light microscope:
- DNA: 2 nanometer
- Cold virus: 25 nanometer
- Typical prokaryotic cell: Between 1micrometer to 5 micrometer
- Mitochondrion: Between 1 micrometer to 5 micrometer
- Typical eukaryotic cell: Between 10 micrometer to 100 micrometer
These image of organisms are compared with the image of the organism or things that can be seen with naked eyes:
- Chaos chaos: 1 micrometer
- Chicken egg: 5 centimeter
The image also shows the conversion ratio as:
1 nanometer is equal to 1 divided by 1,000,000,000 meters
1 micrometer is equal to 1 divided by 1,000,000 meters
1 millimeter is equal to 1 divided by 1000 meters
1 centimeter is equal to 1 divided by 100 meters
