From unit
Micrometer (µm) — SI unit equal to one millionth of a meter
Used in precision engineering, microscopy, and semiconductor manufacturing for dimensions far below a millimeter
- Symbol: µm (also called micron)
- System: SI derived unit
- Exact relations: 1 µm = 10⁻⁶ m = 0.001 mm = 10⁻⁴ cm
- Imperial/US equivalents: 1 µm ≈ 0.0000393700787 in
- Typical examples: human hair ~70 µm; bacteria ~1–10 µm; semiconductor features in the sub-µm to tens of µm range
To unit
Centimeter (cm) — one hundredth of a meter
Common in consumer products and human body measurements. Convenient for small dimensions in engineering, crafts, and design.
- Symbol: cm
- System: SI derived unit
- Exact relations: 1 cm = 0.01 m = 10 mm
- Imperial/US equivalents: 1 cm = 0.393700787 in (since 1 in = 2.54 cm exact)
- Typical examples: garment sizing, paper formats, device thickness
