What is a femtogram used for?

A femtogram measures extremely tiny masses like viruses, nanoparticles, or subcellular components, primarily in scientific research areas such as biophysics and nanotechnology.

How does a femtogram relate to an ounce?

One femtogram equals about 3.527396194958e-17 ounces, showing that femtograms measure much smaller masses compared to ounces.

Why are different ounce types mentioned?

There are variants like the avoirdupois ounce used for cooking and the troy ounce used for precious metals, so knowing which is relevant is key for accurate conversion.
