Micrometer
A micrometer, also known as a micron, is a unit of length equal to one-millionth of a meter.
History/Origin
The term "micron" and the symbol µ were officially declared obsolete by the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) in 1967, and "micrometer" became the official term.
Current Use
The micrometer is a common unit for measuring the wavelength of infrared radiation, as well as the size of biological cells and bacteria. It is also widely used in technology and engineering.
Mile (Us Survey)
The U.S. survey mile is a unit of length equal to 5,280 U.S. survey feet.
History/Origin
The U.S. survey foot was defined such that 1 meter is exactly 39.37 inches. This made the U.S. survey mile slightly longer than the international mile. The use of the survey foot was officially phased out in 2022.
Current Use
