Micrometers to Nanometers: the quick answer
1 µm = 1,000 nm
1 micrometer equals 1,000 nanometers
To convert micrometers to nanometers, multiply the value by 1,000. To go the other way, multiply nanometers by 0.001 to get micrometers.
To convert micrometers to nanometers, multiply the value by 1,000. To go the other way, multiply nanometers by 0.001 to get micrometers.

Micrometer (µm). A micrometer (micron) is one millionth of a meter, used for cells, bacteria and fiber thickness.
Nanometer (nm). A nanometer is one billionth of a meter, used for wavelengths of light and the size of molecules.
There are 1,000 nanometers in one micrometer.
Multiply the number of micrometers by 1,000. For example, 10 micrometers equal 10,000 nanometers.
One nanometer equals 0.001 micrometers.
12,000 nanometers. Other common values: 5 micrometers = 5,000 nanometers and 100 micrometers = 100,000 nanometers.
