Microgram
A microgram (µg) is a unit of mass equal to one millionth of a gram (10^-6 grams).
History/Origin
The microgram was introduced as part of the metric system to measure very small quantities, particularly in science and medicine, and has been widely used since the 20th century.
Current Use
Micrograms are commonly used today in fields such as pharmacology, nutrition, and chemistry to measure small amounts of substances accurately.
Scruple (Apothecary)
A scruple (s.ap) is an old unit of weight used in apothecary measurements, equivalent to 1.3 grains or approximately 1.3 grams.
History/Origin
The scruple originated in ancient Greece and was adopted into Roman and medieval European apothecary systems. It was historically used for measuring small quantities of medicinal substances and drugs.
Current Use
Today, the scruple is largely obsolete and replaced by metric units, but it is still referenced in historical contexts and traditional apothecary practices.
