Micron


A micron is another name for a micrometer, a very small unit of length in the metric system. One micron equals one-millionth of a meter (1 micron = 1 µm = 0.000001 meters). Microns are used to measure extremely small things like bacteria, cells, dust particles, or the thickness of hair and fibers. For example, a human hair is about 70 microns thick. The symbol for micron is "µm". Though “micron” is an older term, it is still commonly used in fields like biology, electronics, and materials science to describe microscopic measurements.
