What are Micron and Inch

Definition of Micron

A micron, also known as a micrometer, is a unit of length equal to one millionth of a meter (1 µm = 1 x 10^-6 m). It's commonly used in engineering and science to measure small distances and sizes, particularly in fields such as microscopy, where the detail of tiny structures is crucial.

Definition of Inch

An inch is a unit of length commonly used in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada. It is defined as 1/12 of a foot and equivalently, 1/36 of a yard. The inch is a standard unit of measurement in many industries, including construction and manufacturing, where precision is essential.
