the picture scale and units of the amoeba proteus and grain of salt are misleading, 0.5mm = 500μm, does it not?

    but μm is micrometres, one millionth of a metre = one thousandth of a millimetre. but yes 500 nanometres = .0005 millimetre.
    i remember this because i live in the metric world! of which the US is not a part. i wonder if that will ever change.

  I try to incorporate it into my daily vernacular. I always find myself saying “WOW, check out the pair-a-mecium’s on that chick”.
