About these units

Micrometer (µm)

A micrometer, or micron, is one-millionth of a meter. It occupies an important niche between nanometer-scale molecular measurements and millimeter-scale visible objects. The micrometer is essential in biology, where it measures cells, bacteria, and tissue structures; in materials science, where it expresses grain sizes and coating thicknesses; and in optics, where it represents wavelengths of infrared radiation. Manufacturing processes, especially semiconductor and micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), rely heavily on micrometer precision. Even slight variations of a few micrometers can significantly alter performance or failure rates. The accessibility of micrometer-level imaging through modern microscopes has made this unit foundational to many scientific fields.

Finger (Cloth) (finger)

The cloth finger is a small measurement used in tailoring and weaving, typically about 2.1 cm (0.83 inches). It allowed precise adjustments when cutting and aligning fabric patterns. Merchants and craftsmen relied on the finger as a convenient subdivision of larger units like spans and ells. Its use highlights the practical application of body-based measurements in the textile industry. While no longer standard, the cloth finger provides a window into historical garment production and the role of human-scale units in everyday work.
