Microinch
A microinch is a unit of length equal to one-millionth of an inch.
History/Origin
The microinch is a unit used for extremely small measurements in precision engineering and manufacturing.
Current Use
The microinch is used in fields like mechanical engineering and electronics to measure surface roughness and tolerances.
Angstrom
The angstrom is a unit of length equal to 10⁻¹⁰ meters. It is not an SI unit.
History/Origin
In 1868, Swedish physicist Anders Jonas Ångström created a chart of the spectrum of sunlight in which he expressed the wavelengths in multiples of one ten-millionth of a millimeter. The unit was named after him.
Current Use
The angstrom is used to express the sizes of atoms, molecules, and the wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation, particularly in the fields of chemistry, spectroscopy, and crystallography.
