Femtoliter
A femtoliter (fL) is a unit of volume equal to 10^-15 liters, used to measure extremely small quantities.
History/Origin
The femtoliter was introduced as part of the SI prefixes for metric units, specifically to quantify very small volumes in scientific research, particularly in biology and chemistry.
Current Use
Femtoliters are commonly used in fields such as cell biology, microfluidics, and nanotechnology to measure tiny volumes like individual cells, droplets, or nanoliter-scale samples.
Deciliter
A deciliter (dL) is a unit of volume equal to one-tenth of a liter, commonly used to measure liquids.
History/Origin
The deciliter was introduced as part of the metric system in the 19th century to provide a convenient subdivision of the liter, facilitating measurements in cooking and scientific contexts.
Current Use
Deciliters are used in various countries for measuring liquids in cooking, nutrition labeling, and scientific experiments, especially where metric units are standard.
