Unit History
About centimeters
The centimeter, exactly one-hundredth of a meter, traces its origins to the same revolutionary reforms that created the metric system. Commonly used in everyday tasks, it is especially helpful for measuring smaller objects, personal body dimensions, and household items. It plays a critical role in many fields, from tailoring and construction to basic scientific experiments.
About micrometers
The micrometer (µm), one-millionth of a meter, became important as scientific instruments advanced, enabling the study of microscopic objects. Researchers in fields like biology, materials science, and engineering regularly rely on this unit to describe cells, fibers, and thin films. Its small scale is indispensable for tasks requiring detailed accuracy.
