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.
Microinch
A microinch is a unit of length equal to one-millionth of an inch.
History/Origin
The microinch is a unit used for extremely small measurements in precision engineering and manufacturing.
Current Use
The microinch is used in fields like mechanical engineering and electronics to measure surface roughness and tolerances.
