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 nanometers
The nanometer (nm), one-billionth of a meter, gained prominence with major developments in areas such as semiconductor technology and molecular research. It is used to measure extremely small phenomena, including wavelengths of light and the size of molecules. Nanometers are now crucial in high-precision manufacturing and cutting-edge scientific studies, including nanotechnology and quantum research.
