Square Chain
A square chain (ch^2) is a unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides measuring one chain (66 feet) each, equivalent to 4356 square feet.
History/Origin
The square chain originated in land measurement practices in England, particularly used in surveying and land division during the 19th century, especially in the context of the Imperial system.
Current Use
Today, the square chain is largely obsolete and rarely used outside historical or land survey contexts; modern measurements typically employ acres or square meters.
Square Micrometer
A square micrometer (µm²) is a unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides measuring one micrometer (µm).
History/Origin
The square micrometer originated with the development of the metric system and microscopic measurement techniques, becoming standard in scientific fields requiring precise area measurements at microscopic scales.
Current Use
The square micrometer is used in fields such as microbiology, materials science, and nanotechnology to measure tiny surface areas, particle sizes, and microscopic features.
