10 nanograms
The quantity is exact as entered. Comparisons use the clearly stated specimen, model or nominal measurement.
Pollen grain
A chosen 30 µm pollen grain. Plant species produce very different grains.
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.
