Bacterium size is measured by a technique called Micrometry. With micrometry you can measured the size of very small beings like bacteria, cells, etc. This technique involves the use of a microscope in which the eye piece is calibrated in micrometers. A similarly calibrated slide is used for standardization. The specimen is then mounted and the size measured. Normally, the size of many cells are taken into account and an average value is taken, since all cells may not be of the same size.

Is the nominal or actual size of a board used to calculate board feet?

The nominal size of a board is used to calculate board feet, not the actual size. Nominal dimensions refer to the board's rough-cut measurements, typically expressed in inches (e.g., 2x4), while the actual size is smaller due to milling (e.g., a 2x4 actually measures about 1.5x3.5 inches). To calculate board feet, you multiply the nominal dimensions and the length of the board in feet, using the formula: (Thickness in inches × Width in inches × Length in feet) / 12.
