About these units
Femtoliter (fL)
A femtoliter represents 10⁻¹⁵ liters and is commonly used in hematology, particularly in describing red blood cell size. A typical red blood cell has a volume of roughly 80–100 fL, making this unit ideal for medical diagnostics. Beyond medicine, femtoliters are used in microfluidics and nanoparticle research, where reaction chambers or droplets often hold only a few dozen femtoliters of liquid. The femtoliter exemplifies how modern science pushes measurement into realms dominated by statistical motion, molecular interactions, and quantum effects—scales that once seemed impossible to quantify.
Acre-Inch (ac*in)
An acre-inch equals 1/12 of an acre-foot, representing the water required to cover one acre to a depth of one inch. Irrigation planners and farmers often use acre-inches to fine-tune watering schedules for crops. Because plants require precise hydration, the acre-inch allows for granular control of irrigation needed for soil management and crop health. Agronomists also use acre-inches to convert rainfall into usable water volume estimates for agricultural regions, linking meteorology with farm management.
