Micrometer (µm). A micrometer (micron) is one millionth of a meter, used for cells, bacteria and fiber thickness.
Meter (m). The meter is the SI base unit of length, defined by the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second.
There are 1 × 10⁻⁶ meters in one micrometer.
Multiply the number of micrometers by 1 × 10⁻⁶. For example, 10 micrometers equal 1 × 10⁻⁵ meters.
One meter equals 1,000,000 micrometers.
0.001 meters. Other common values: 100 micrometers = 0.0001 meters and 10,000 micrometers = 0.01 meters.
