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

Nanometer (nm). A nanometer is one billionth of a meter, used for wavelengths of light and the size of molecules.
Micrometer (µm). A micrometer (micron) is one millionth of a meter, used for cells, bacteria and fiber thickness.
There are 0.001 micrometers in one nanometer.
Multiply the number of nanometers by 0.001. For example, 10 nanometers equal 0.01 micrometers.
One micrometer equals 1,000 nanometers.
1 micrometer. Other common values: 100 nanometers = 0.1 micrometers and 10,000 nanometers = 10 micrometers.
