To help compare different orders of magnitude this page lists volumes between 10-16 cubic meters and 10-15 cubic meters (100 femtolitres and 1 picolitre). See also volumes or capacities of other orders of magnitude.
- Volumes less than 100 femtolitres
- 100 femtolitres -- Size of an enlarged red blood cell (macrocytosis).
- 200 femtolitres -- Average volume of a lymphocyte.
- 330 femtolitres -- Mean volume of a neutrophil granulocyte.
- 420 femtolitres -- Volume of an average monocyte.
- Volumes greater than 1 picolitres
