Sabin
The sabin is a unit of luminous intensity used to measure the brightness of light sources, specifically in photometry.
History/Origin
Named after the French physiologist Charles-Édouard Guillaume, the sabin was introduced in the early 20th century as a unit to quantify luminous intensity, primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts related to light measurement.
Current Use
The sabin is rarely used today; it has been largely replaced by the candela in the International System of Units (SI). However, it may still appear in historical data or specialized fields related to light measurement.
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.
