Unit History
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.
About kilometers
The kilometer was established following the definition of the meter, representing exactly 1,000 meters. It quickly became a standard for measuring longer distances, such as those between cities or geographic landmarks. Most countries that use the metric system rely on kilometers to indicate road and travel distances.
