Micrometers (µm) measure cells (human cell = ~10–30 µm), bacteria (1–5 µm), and microelectronics. Pollen grains are ~15–100 µm wide. The Millimeter (mm) is perfect for very small measurements like the thickness of a credit card (0.76 mm), the diameter of a pencil lead (0.5-0.7 mm), or the size of small hardware components. Commonly used in engineering, jewelry design and manufacturing.
To convert between Micrometer (µm) and Millimeter (mm), use the following formulas:
1 Micrometer (µm) = 0.001 Millimeter (mm)
1 Millimeter (mm) = 1000.0000000000001 Micrometer (µm)
1 µm = 1 * 0.001 mm = 0.001 mm
10 µm = 10 * 0.001 mm = 0.01 mm
50 µm = 50 * 0.001 mm = 0.05 mm
100 µm = 100 * 0.001 mm = 0.1 mm
500 µm = 500 * 0.001 mm = 0.5 mm
