Bar length measures mass, not physical size.
A little perspective
1 nanogram and 10 µm cell have approximately the same mass.

1 nanogram
The quantity is exact as entered. Comparisons use the clearly stated specimen, model or nominal measurement.
10 µm cell
A 10 µm diameter teaching example, not a universal cell size.
An illustrative mass chosen for this teaching specimen, stored independently from its size. Actual composition, hydration and specimen dimensions vary.
Defined examples — our methodology
The marked mass is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.

Why these numbers?
The visual compares mass with mass. The records below preserve each value’s basis and caveats.

- Comparing
- Mass ↔ Mass
- Relative size
- The two selected measurements are approximately equal.
How to read the visual
The labelled spans and stored measurements determine the scale; unmeasured illustration details do not.
