Micrometers

Definition: A micrometer (µm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to one-millionth of a meter (1/1,000,000 m).

History: The micrometer, also known as a micron, was first introduced in the metric system to measure extremely small distances. It is widely used in fields such as physics, engineering, and biology to measure microscopic objects.

Inches

Definition: An inch (in) is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems, equal to 1/12 of a foot or 2.54 centimeters.

History: The inch originates from medieval England, historically based on the width of a human thumb. It was later standardized to 2.54 cm and is widely used in carpentry, engineering, and everyday measurements.
