Microorganisms are typically measured using the metric system, specifically in micrometers (µm) for larger bacteria and nanometers (nm) for viruses. A micrometer is one-millionth of a meter, while a nanometer is one-billionth of a meter. For example, bacteria generally range from 1 to 10 µm in size, whereas viruses can be as small as 20 nm to 300 nm. This scale is crucial for understanding the size and scale of different microorganisms in microbiology and related fields.
