What is a micrometer?
A micrometer, also called a micron, is one millionth of a meter. That is a thousand times smaller than a millimeter, far below what your eye can pick out on its own.
Micrometers describe things seen through a microscope: a human hair is roughly 70 micrometers thick, a red blood cell is about 8, and the dust particles an air filter traps are measured in single microns.
In writing, the micrometer is usually shortened to "µm". One micrometer is 0.000001 meters, and that ratio is what every figure on this page is built from.
