Micrometer
A micrometer, also known as a micron, 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 "micrometer" became the official term.
Current Use
The micrometer is a common unit for measuring the wavelength of infrared radiation, as well as the size of biological cells and bacteria. It is also widely used in technology and engineering.
Barleycorn
A barleycorn is an old English unit of length, equal to one-third of an inch.
History/Origin
The barleycorn was a unit of measurement in medieval England, and was originally based on the length of a grain of barley. It was a fundamental unit from which other units were derived.
Current Use
The barleycorn is an obsolete unit of measurement, but it is still the basis for shoe sizes in English-speaking countries.
