Micron
A micron is a non-SI name for micrometer (µm), which is a unit of length equal to one-millionth of a meter.
History/Origin
The term "micron" and the symbol µ were officially declared obsolete by the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) in 1967 and are now discouraged.
Current Use
While the term micrometer is the officially recognized term, "micron" is still used in some industries and in casual speech.
Point
A point is a unit of typographical measurement. In the context of printing, it is approximately 1/72 of an inch.
History/Origin
The point system of typography was developed in the 18th century. It provides a standardized way to measure font sizes and leading.
Current Use
The point is the standard unit for measuring font sizes in both print and digital media.
