Points

Definition: A point (pt) is a unit of length commonly used in typography, equal to 1/72 of an inch or approximately 0.353 millimeters.

History: The point system was developed in the 18th century to standardize type sizes in printing. The most widely used system today is the PostScript point, defined as exactly 1/72 of an inch, popularized by digital typesetting.

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.
