In 2269, Spock noted that while Nurse Christine Chapel's uniform fit her perfectly, her titanium bracelet was too big for her. He then surmised (correctly) that spiroid epsilon waves only caused organic material to shrink, as the crewmembers and their xenylon uniforms had both shrunk at the same rate, while metal objects, such as Chapel's bracelet, remained their normal size.

- Xenylon was an algae-based synthetic material used in the Federation to make Starfleet uniforms. (TAS episode: "The Terratin Incident") It was waterproof (TOS novel: Death's Angel) and fireproof (TOS movie: Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country; TNG novel: Power Hungry), but could tear quite easily. (TOS episode: "The Savage Curtain")
