atomic scale

Atomic scale refers to the distance between the nuclei of atoms in a material. This space is extremely large compared to the size of the atomic nucleus, and is related to the chemical bonds which bind atoms together. The spacing between atoms in most ordered solids is on the order of a few ångströms (a few tenths of a nanometer). [Wikipedia]

macroscopic scale
(http://purl.allotrope.org/ontologies/curation#AFCUR_0000003)The macroscopic scale is the length scale on which objects or phenomena are large enough to be visible almost practically with the naked eye, without magnifying optical instruments. When applied to physical phenomena and bodies, the macroscopic scale describes things as a person can directly perceive them, without the aid of magnifying devices. This is in contrast to observations (microscopy) or theories (microphysics, statistical physics) of objects of geometric lengths smaller than perhaps some hundreds of micrometers. [Wikipedia]

mesoscopic scale
(http://purl.allotrope.org/ontologies/curation#AFCUR_0000004)Mesoscopic physics is a sub-discipline of condensed matter physics that deals with materials of an intermediate length. The scale of these materials can be described as being between the size of a quantity of atoms (such as a molecule) and of materials measuring micrometers. [Wikipedia]

microscopic scale
(http://purl.allotrope.org/ontologies/curation#AFCUR_0000005)In physics, the microscopic scale is sometimes considered the scale between the macroscopic and the quantum realm. Microscopic units and measurements are used to classify and describe very small objects. One common microscopic length scale unit is the Micrometer (μm) - one millionth of 1 meter. [Wikipedia]
