A defined ripe raspberry 20 mm across and 4 g in mass. Cultivar, ripeness and growing conditions produce substantial variation.
Defined examples — our methodology
The marked defined fruit diameter is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.
Sea angel
A defined 2 cm adult sea angel modelled on Clione limacina. Body length excludes the extended wing-like parapodia; species, maturity and posture change the span.
The marked defined body length is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.

Why we use 2 cm
For comparison, this page uses defined fruit diameter. This is labelled defined specimen: an explicit comparison model rather than a claim that every example has the same value. The recorded range is 1.5 cm to 2.5 cm.
