Cc
The cubic centimeter (cc or cm^3) is a unit of volume representing the volume of a cube with sides of one centimeter.
History/Origin
The cubic centimeter has been used in scientific and medical contexts as a convenient measure of small volumes, especially in fields like medicine and engineering, evolving from the metric system's adoption in the 19th century.
Current Use
Today, the cubic centimeter is commonly used to measure small volumes in medicine (e.g., syringe capacities), automotive engine displacements, and scientific applications, often interchangeably with milliliters (mL).
Microliter
A microliter (µL) is a unit of volume equal to one millionth of a liter, or 10^-6 liters.
History/Origin
The microliter was introduced as part of the metric system to facilitate precise measurement in scientific and medical fields, especially with the advent of micro-scale laboratory techniques.
Current Use
Microliters are commonly used in laboratories for measuring small liquid volumes, such as in chemistry, biology, and medical diagnostics, often in conjunction with micropipettes and microfluidic devices.
