Micrometer (µm). A micrometer (micron) is one millionth of a meter, used for cells, bacteria and fiber thickness.
Typographic point (pt). A typographic point is 1/72 of an inch (about 0.3528 mm), used for font sizes.
There are 0.00283465 typographic points in one micrometer.
Multiply the number of micrometers by 0.00283465. For example, 10 micrometers equal 0.0283465 typographic points.
One typographic point equals 352.778 micrometers.
2.83465 typographic points. Other common values: 100 micrometers = 0.283465 typographic points and 10,000 micrometers = 28.3465 typographic points.
