About Micrometer

The micrometre (micron) equals one millionth of a metre. It is the working scale of cells, machining tolerances and airborne particulates.

Common uses: microscopy, machining tolerances, air quality (PM).

About Link (Gunter)

The link (gunter) (li) is a unit of distance and length. One link (gunter) equals 0.201168 metres. UnitConvertLab converts it against every other length unit using this exact definition, so results are reproducible to full double precision rather than rounded lookup tables.

Common uses: length calculations, engineering and science, education.
