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.


Micron

A micron is a non-SI name for micrometer (µm), which is a unit of length equal to one-millionth of a meter.

History/Origin

The term "micron" and the symbol µ were officially declared obsolete by the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) in 1967 and are now discouraged.

Current Use

While the term micrometer is the officially recognized term, "micron" is still used in some industries and in casual speech.
