What are Microgram and Pound-troy

Definition of Microgram

A microgram is a unit of mass equal to one millionth (1/1,000,000) of a gram. It's denoted by the symbol 'µg' and is commonly used in the fields of chemistry and biotechnology to measure small quantities of substances. Due to its minute scale, it's crucial for precise tasks like weighing pharmaceutical ingredients, laboratory samples, or chemical reagents.

Definition of Pound-troy

A pound-troy is a unit of imperial weight primarily used for precious metals and gemstones. One pound-troy is equivalent to approximately 373.24 grams or 12 troy ounces. Unlike the more common avoirdupois pound, which contains 16 ounces, the troy pound is slightly heavier and has a specialized use in industries where accuracy is paramount.
