Detailed explanation-1: -Cells are measured in units of length called micrometers, or microns. One millimeter is equal to 1, 000 microns.

Detailed explanation-2: -Small bacteria are usually around 1 µ m (micrometer) – about the size of large organelle in an eukaryotic cell. A typical eukaryotic cell is about 10 µm – 20 µm. Organelles are typically about 1 µm – 5 µm.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cell size can be measured using an eyepiece graticule . The graticule has a scale ruled on it. You must find out the distance measured for each division of the graticule. You can then use the graticule to measure cells.
