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.
Minim (Uk)
A minim is a traditional unit of volume used in the UK, equivalent to one-eighth of a fluid dram or approximately 0.0616 milliliters.
History/Origin
The minim originated in the apothecaries' system of measurement, dating back to the 19th century, primarily used for measuring small quantities of liquids in pharmacy and medicine.
Current Use
Today, the minim is largely obsolete and rarely used outside historical or specialized contexts; modern measurements favor metric units, but it may still appear in historical references or vintage recipes.
