Micrometer
A micrometer, also known as a micron, is a unit of length equal to one-millionth of a meter.
History/Origin
The term "micron" and the symbol µ were officially declared obsolete by the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) in 1967, and "micrometer" became the official term.
Current Use
The micrometer is a common unit for measuring the wavelength of infrared radiation, as well as the size of biological cells and bacteria. It is also widely used in technology and engineering.
Microinch
A microinch is a unit of length equal to one-millionth of an inch.
History/Origin
The microinch is a unit used for extremely small measurements in precision engineering and manufacturing.
Current Use
The microinch is used in fields like mechanical engineering and electronics to measure surface roughness and tolerances.
