.050" for the smallest.
2mm and 2.5mm are the larger i think.

Get quality drivers.
A .05mm hex head can round real easy.

Ive actually been looking for a decent hex driver for that smallest .05" size. i keep stripping the allen wrenches that come with the kit and none of my sets have a hex driver that small.

I didn't see a set with all the sizes but came across these. I may pick these up if I don't find anything at homedepot..which i doubt

the Dynamite 2.5mm is out of stock separately so this is the next cheapest at $4 more

So $13 before shipping for all 3

FYI, this set does not include the .05. I just posted the link to show the brand and finish.

I've used Dynamite tools before and they work well. They have nice grip but may be overkill for a micro. I find the machined handle ones can be a bit pricey locally as well. Bondhus makes decent drivers for around $1.50 CAD if you can find a distributor near you.

Bondhus Catalog Part# 10602 is the .050" driver.

I used both Dynamite and Integy with great results.
Someone posted .05mm, its not metric, its .050 inch.

I've heard of others using 1.3mm in place of the .050" but ive never seen a 1.3mm hex personally.

Edit - Actually....

I would still suggest the .050" it fits great.
