What else can I help you with?
Why the size of objects viewed under high power is usually recorded in micrometers?
Objects viewed under high power in microscopy are typically measured in micrometers because they are too small to be accurately measured in millimeters. Micrometers are a more precise unit of measurement for the tiny details visible at such magnifications. Additionally, the use of micrometers allows for consistency and comparability in scientific research when reporting the sizes of microscopic structures.
What is a unit for measuring a waves length?
Wavelength is usually measured in metres or millimetres.
How big is one bacteria tuberculosis?
One bacteria tuberculosis, or Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is typically about 1-4 micrometers in length and 0.2-0.5 micrometers in width. They are rod-shaped, non-motile bacteria that reproduce by binary fission.
If the diameter of a microscope field is 1 millimeter how many cells with a length of250 micrometers will fit across the field?
To determine how many cells with a length of 250 micrometers can fit across a microscope field with a diameter of 1 millimeter (1000 micrometers), you divide the total field diameter by the length of one cell. So, 1000 micrometers ÷ 250 micrometers = 4 cells. Therefore, a total of 4 cells can fit across the field.
Which tools measure length volume and mass and their units?
-- Length is measured by rulers; they are often wood. -- Volume is measured by measuring cups; they are usually glass. -- Mass is most often measured by a laboratory balance; they are metal.
What units is wavelength measured in usually?
Answer - meters or derivations of meters e.g micrometers, nanometers etc
What do you use to measure short length or distance?
Millimeters or microns are measured with rulers or micrometers. Depends what you are doing.
What is Cell diameter is measured in?
Cells are typically measured in micrometers
What is the length of on plant cell in micrometers?
The average length of a plant cell is around 10 to 100 micrometers.

What are some items measured in centimeters?
Anything that has length. Although for very small things, millimeters or micrometers may be handier, and for large things, meters or kilometers. The length of your pen, the width of your computer screen, or the length of your fingers can be given in centimeters. List some items that can be measured in centimeters.
What is a height of a killer whale?
Killer whales are not measured in height. Instead, they are measured by length. The length of a orca is usually around 33 feet.
How big is a serratia marcescens bacterium?
0.5 to 0.8 micrometers in diameter and 0.9 to 2.0 micrometers in length
How do you use micrometre in a sentence?
I measured the thickness of the paper using a micrometre.
What is the wavelength of a wave measured in?
"Wavelength" is described in any convenient unit of length or distance, such as meter, foot, inch, furlong, kilometer, Angstrom, smoot, light-year, etc.
What is length and width on pants?
Pants (trousers) are usually measured around the waist and the length of the inside leg.
How long is a mite?
They can be around 420 micrometers in length.
