By using an optical microscope, manipulation processes with micrometer precision can be carried out.
Morphological differences among these adults were quantified by measurement of a total of 22 external body characters (table 1) using a calibrated ocular micrometer.
It opens the way to experimental studies of the structure of matter with a unique combination of micrometer spatial and subpicosecond temporal resolution.
Labeling by diffusion would also be consistent with the intense anterograde labeling of fibers for several hundred micrometers toward the optic disk.
Two perpendicular diameters of follicles cultured under oil or on hydrophobic membrane were measured at x 200 magnification with an ocular micrometer.
The biofilm-clay aggregates vary in size from tens of micrometers to several millimeters.
The waves are quite broad entailing correlated activity that extends for many hundreds of micrometers both perpendicular and tangential to the direction of propagation.
The position of the hot-wire probes within the channel could be controlled within 0.01 mm by a micrometer traversing mechanism.
