      A nanometre is one billionth of a meter and can be measured with microscopes. Microscopes now can go down to really small measurements because they now use electrons, not light to see things.

      Most things that are measured in nanometres are not really made but are already there. things like viruses and pollen molecules are all nanometres long.

      you can also use x-rays to measure really tiny distances!
