- 10-35 m - Lengths smaller than this do not make any physical sense. See Plancks_constannt
- 10-15 m - Size of atomic nuclei
- 10-10 m - Size of atoms - See Ångström
- 10-9 m = 1 nanometer (nm) - Diameter of DNA helix
- 10-8 m = 10 nm
- 20 nm -- thickness of bacterial flagellum
- 40 nm -- extreme ultraviolet wavelength
- 90 nm -- Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
- 10-7 m = 100 nm
- 100 nm -- Maximum particle size that can fit through a surgical mask
- 280 nm -- near ultraviolet wavelength
- 380-430 nm -- wavelength of violet light -- see color
- 625-740 nm -- wavelength red light
- 10-6 m = 1 micrometer aka micron (μm)
