What is Nanometer?

Nanometer is a length unit used to express distance, size or travel range in practical measurement work.

Short history of Nanometer

The prefix nano- (one billionth, from Greek nanos, dwarf) was adopted with the SI in 1960; the nanometer is the usual unit for light wavelengths and semiconductor feature sizes.

What is Micrometer?

Micrometer is a length unit used to express distance, size or travel range in practical measurement work.

Short history of Micrometer

The prefix micro- (one millionth, from Greek mikros, small) was formally adopted with the SI in 1960; the micrometer (often called a micron) is used for cell sizes, fiber diameters and machining tolerances.
