FAQ

What is a micrometer?

A micrometer (µm), also known as a micron, is one-millionth of a meter. It's a common unit for measuring microscopic objects like cells and bacteria.

Maintain significant figures

For lab notebooks and QC reports, carry through the same number of significant figures when converting micrometer measurements to millimeters.

  • Optics: report slit widths and wavelengths with scientific notation as needed.
  • Manufacturing: specify gauge and tolerance in one unit to avoid dual rounding.
  • Use the µ (mu) symbol or write "micrometer" to avoid confusion with "micron" in standards.
