30 nm is an enormous amount



30 nm is an enormous amount.

It's 300 Angstroms.

It's 6 ten-thousandths of the diameter of a 50-micron human hair.

It's 50% larger than the width of a bacterial flagellum.

It's smaller than 1/3 the size of 90% of the particles in wood smoke.

It's shorter than the wavelength of extreme ultra-violet light.
