    Microtubules about 25 nano meters actin filaments/micro filaments is about 7 nano meters intermediate filaments about 8 to 10 nano meters

    Hence,

    From the above data, Microtubules have the largest diameter, it is made up of tubulin proteins which are arrange in the form of a straw - like tube which is hollow from inside, and each of the tubuline protein consists of two sub units i. e. alpha - tubuline and the beta - tubuline.
