Unit Definitions
What is a Micrometer (μm)?
A micrometer (μm) is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one millionth of a meter.
History
The micrometer was first defined in the 17th century, originally used in optical devices like microscopes to measure small distances.
Current Use
Today, micrometers are commonly used in scientific research, engineering, and manufacturing for precise measurements.
