Did you know there are more living things on and inside your body alone than on the entire Earth? And the world is full of this micro-stuff! You can even see some bacteria with your own eyes. The largest bacterium in the world lives in the coastal waters of Namibia. Its length is 3/4 mm, and it’s larger than, say, a grain of sand or salt! More than half as small is a dust mite — these pests that bug you at night only grow to be around 1/3 mm. By the way, remember those amoebas from your biology classes? They’re the same size as dust mites. A single strand of human hair is just 1/10 mm thick. So wanna know more about how huge our planet really is? Then let’s look through the super-powerful microscope!

SUMMARY:
- At 10 and 7 micrometers, you’ll find white and red blood cells, respectively.
- Two things that are similar in size and you won’t believe it: a clay particle and an E. coli microbe, and they’re both 2 micrometers in diameter.
- Now, a little further we meet the largest virus. It’s called Megavirus, and it’s just 440 nanometers in size.
- 200 nanometers is the size of another virus called bacteriophage. If you translate its name from Greek, you’ll find out that it feeds on bacteria.
- Pushing harder, we go down to 3 nanometers, which is the width of a DNA strand. Don’t let its width fool you, though: the length of its strands is simply enormous.
- Electrons haven’t been properly measured because they’re just too small for that. Anyway, though, the classical model of measurement says an electron is about 5 femtometers in size.
- Protons and neutrons, the other two main parts of an atom, are 5 times smaller than electrons!
- A quark is a particle that makes up protons and neutrons in an atom’s core. There are six types of them, and they all have different properties.
- A strange quark is about half as small as the up and down quarks, yet it’s 50 times as heavy!
- At 100 zeptometers, we see charm quarks. They’re even more massive than strange ones, but at least their existence is not questioned.
- Next up are bottom quarks with the size of just 30 zeptometers. Not a lot can be said about these tiny guys: they have a negative charge and they quickly transform into other, bigger types of quarks.
- And finally, the sixth type is top quarks. Their size is 100 yoctometers (yet another part per thousand added), and, against all logic, they’re the most massive of all quarks.
- But even that’s not the end of it, and there are particles even smaller than top quarks. One of them is a neutrino, measuring about 1 yoctometer.
- The string theory suggests lots of possibilities, and one of those is that a string is one-dimensional itself, but its vibrations take it to all the other dimensions.
- And the second thing on this level is believed to be quantum foam. It exists according to another theory, and it makes up the whole space-time.
