Yes, but only relative to other antibiotics used on the same species. The zone of inhabition will very between different bacterial species.

How do you work out duct diametre?
For round duct, measure from one side to the other, and you have the diameter.
How do you measure diameter of cell nucleus?
First you must obtain an adequate sample of the cells (and their nucleus) which you wish to measure. Once you have the slides you have to methods of measuring: 1.- using a microscope with a graded eyepiece. This requires a few simple steps of calculation regarding magnification of the different lenses on the microscope. 2.- Capturing digital images of the cell nucleus at a known magrnification and then using a program to measure the diameter of the cell nucleus ( I am currently using the free program IMAGETOOLS to do exactly that!!) This also requires a few simple steps of calculation regarding magnification of the different lenses on the microscope.This requires a few simple steps of calculation regarding magnification of the different lenses on the microscope....but in this case the computer program does it for you.
What is the best way to measure growth?
When you measure your plants weight you.... 1. Take out the plant from the pot. 2. Carefully rinse of the soil from the roots. 3. Carefully dab your plant to make it dry with a paper towel. 4. As soon as you dab dry your plant, weigh it. And.......that's it!

What landmarks would you use to measure a femur and tibia?
The femur extends from the hip to the patella. So measure from your hip to the knee. The tibia extends from the patella to the ankle. So measure from the knee to the "ankle bone".
How do you find antibiotic assay?
For determining the type of causal agent of infectious diseases and for checking their sensitivity to antibiotics and chemotherapeutic agents in vitro by means of the inhibition zone determination method. The antibiogram allows rational and selective chemotherapy. The test discs can be coated with chemotherapeutic agents, placed on the innoculated nutrient agar and incubated. The size of the inhibition zone is a measure for the effectiveness of the substances.
What factors affect the zone of inhibition?
Pathogen susceptibility influences the zone of inhibition because organisms will not grow if they are susceptible to antibiotics. Another influence are the pH levels of agar which should fall between 7.2 and 7.4 room temperature.
What if a agar plate is isolated and antibiotic added and result is no growth or inhibition?
This is basically ANTIBIOTIC SENSITIVITY TEST, to test whether the given organism is RESISTANT(no zone of inhibition) or SENSITIVE( zone of inhibition) to the given antibiotic.Zone of Inhibition Testing is a fast, qualitative means to measure the ability of an antimicrobial agent to inhibit the growth of microorganisms.The effectiveness is based upon the size of zone of inhibition,diffusability of antibiotic,size of inoculum,type of media used.example: bacillus organism is inoculated with both PENICILLIN and AMPICILLIN ,zone of inhibition is absent in case of penicillin and present in case of ampicillin, this shows that ampicillin (sensitive) worked effectively when compared to penicillin.
When testing the effectiveness of an antiobiotic what does the zone of inhibition represent?
You measure with a ruler from the edge of the disk to where the growth begins. Measured in mm units.

How do you measure for screws on a tape measure?
well, if you want to measure the length, just stretch the tape and measure it. If you want to measure the diameter, measure the circumference of the screw, then divided by 3.1415, then you will get the diameter.
