10.6 µm — wavelength of light emitted by a carbon dioxide laser
13 µm - width of nylon fibre^{[citation needed]}
14 µm - width of polyester fibre^{[citation needed]}
15 µm — width of silk fibre
16 µm — diameter of a micromirror in a typical Digital micromirror device
17 µm — length of a tobacco mosaic virus
17.6 µm — one twip, a unit of length in typography
10 to 55 µm — width of wool fibre^[1]
25.4 µm — 1/1000 inch, commonly referred to as 1 mil in the U.S. and 1 thou in the UK
30–50 µm — diameter of a minicolumn in the human cortex^{[citation needed]}
50 µm — typical length of Euglena gracilis, a flagellate protist
