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.
Pica
A pica is a unit of typographical measurement equal to 1/6 of an inch.
History/Origin
The pica originated around the mid-18th century. It is a fundamental unit in the point system of typography.
Current Use
The pica is still used in graphic design and printing to measure the width of lines of type and the dimensions of pages.
