some basic units of length that scientists use to study cells, organelles, or microorganisms follow the rules of the metric system. starting at the length of 1/10 of a centimeter is a millimeter (mm), which is slightly large to be used as this type of measurement, but is still occasionally used. 1/10 of a millimeter is a micrometer (µm), which is a good measurement to use for cells or microorganisms. 1/10 of a micrometer is a nanometer (nm), which is an okay size to measure organelles with. Smaller than a nanometer, scientists rarely use the metric system, which has become to large for purposes, and begin to use relative measurements of which I am not familiar.
