Micrometer


A micrometer (ยตm), also called a micron, is an extremely small unit of length in the metric system. It is equal to one-millionth of a meter (0.000001 meters). Micrometers are used to measure tiny objects that are invisible to the naked eye, such as bacteria, cells, or the thickness of a human hair (which is about 50 to 70 micrometers thick). The symbol for micrometer is "ยตm". This unit is very important in science, engineering, and manufacturing where precise measurements are needed at microscopic scales. Because it is so small, the micrometer helps scientists study the details of very small structures.


Famn


A famn (also spelled fathom in English) is a traditional Scandinavian unit of length used primarily for measuring the depth of water or length of ropes and cables. It is roughly equivalent to 6 Swedish feet, which translates to about 1.828 meters (approximately 6 feet).


The famn is similar in concept to the English fathom, based on the span of outstretched arms.


While largely obsolete today, the famn was commonly used in maritime contexts in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark and remains part of historical measurements.
