Scales of the microworld are defined on the grounds of the hierarchy that can be set up within a well ordered finite or infinite countable set of well ordered sets. Indirect measurements in pure mathematical as well as physical meaning are considered as the mean to obtain information on the occurring within each scale. The general concept of the physical laws within a certain scale is defined in the framework of the set theory. The hypothesis is proposed that quarks are not within the same scale as other elementary particles are, but within the following ("smaller", exactly of lower hierarchy) scale. Maybe, in particular, this is the cause of difficulties of the free quark detection? Some other consequences of the abovementioned hypothesis are discussed. Limitations of the possibility to obtain information on the going on within sets of low hierarchy (in particular, "small" scales of the microworld, in physics) and to transfer it toward the set of the highest hierarchy (in particular, to the macroscopic observer in physics) are found as a consequences of the multi-step character of measurements. Keywords: microworld scales, set theory, information value and hierarchy, well-ordered set hierarchy, sub-quantum physics, indirect measurements, quarks PACS: 02.10.Ab, 03.65.Ta

This paper identifies the substantial nature of microworld wave-corpuscle duality and sets out fundamental differences between the microworld and macroworld wave-corpuscle duality. Wave-corpuscle duality of microscopic objects over a century has been among the most intriguing features of microworld. The fact is that microworld objects typically exhibit corpuscularity properties, that is, properties of strictly localized objects, and at the same time in special conditions have properties of spatially distributed and spatially unbounded media. Wave-corpuscle properties of microscopic objects were revealed during diffraction experiments when moving microscopic objects are passing through slots, through crystal lattices, nearby edges of bodies etc. Microscopic objects which have cleared diffractive obstacles (diffracted microobjects) leave spot traces on observation screen which speaks for their corpuscularity while distribution of numerous traces reminds in its nature intensity distribution of diffracted purely wave flows. Experiments prove that wave-corpuscle properties are exhibited by each individually diffracted microobject. Substantial nature of microobjects is still unknown. According to quantum physics a
