Millimeter


A millimeter (mm) is a very small unit of length in the metric system. It is commonly used to measure tiny objects or precise dimensions. One millimeter is equal to one-thousandth of a meter (1 mm = 0.001 m), and 10 millimeters make 1 centimeter. Millimeters are often used in fields like engineering, machining, and science where exact measurements are important. For example, the thickness of a credit card is about 1 mm. The symbol for millimeter is "mm", and you can find it on most rulers or measuring tools. Since it allows for high accuracy, the millimeter is ideal for measuring small parts, gaps, or details.


X-unit


The X-unit (symbol: xu) is a very small unit of length used primarily to measure wavelengths of X-rays and gamma rays. It was introduced in the early 20th century for precision measurements in X-ray crystallography.



  • 1 X-unit ≈ 0.1 picometers (pm) or 10⁻¹³ meters



  • It allows scientists to express extremely small wavelengths typical of X-rays, which are on the order of atomic spacing



  • The exact definition has varied historically, but the unit remains useful for comparing wavelengths in X-ray spectroscopy and crystallography



Though largely replaced by the picometer or ångström in modern usage, the X-unit played a crucial role in early developments of atomic-scale measurement.
