micrometre (US micrometer) |
|
| |
|
| Symbol μm. A unit of distance equivalent to one- millionth of a metre. This is comparable to the wavelength of visible light, so to view objects at this scale is to push the best optical microscopes to their limit. It is now possible with laser cutting devices to manufacture to this scale, as in precision castings for turntables. |
