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.

Nautical League (UK) (nl (UK))

This older British unit corresponds to 3 UK nautical miles, or 18,240 feet (about 5,563.6 meters), slightly longer than the international version. Before international standardization, distances in British naval operations were often recorded using UK nautical leagues, especially in long-range maritime planning. Like other historical British units, the UK nautical league reflects the era when each naval power maintained its own measurement standards. While no longer used for navigation, it appears in historic ship logs, naval battles, and exploration records—especially for events predating the 20th century. For historians, the distinction between the UK league and the international one is critical to accurate interpretation of maritime distances.
