What is Nanometer?

The nanometer (symbol: nm) is an SI unit of length equal to $10^{-9}$ meters.

Common Uses

Nanometers are the standard unit for measuring wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation (including visible light) and for describing the feature sizes of advanced semiconductor chips and nanotechnology.

What is Micrometer?

The micrometer (symbol: µm), often called a micron, is an SI derived unit of length equal to $10^{-6}$ meters.

Common Uses

Micrometers are essential in biology for measuring the size of cells and bacteria, and in engineering (specifically microelectronics) to describe the size of components and manufacturing tolerances.

How many micrometer are in a nanometer?

There are 0.001 micrometer in 1 nanometer.
