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.

Twip (twip)

A twip is a twentieth of a point, equal to 1/1440 of an inch. This extremely small unit originated in computer typography, particularly in early word processors and GUI layout systems developed by Microsoft and Apple. Because digital screens and software-based layout engines require highly precise internal measurements, twips allowed consistent and resolution-independent positioning of graphical objects and text. Even when the actual pixel density of displays varied, twips provided a device-agnostic coordinate system. Twips remain particularly relevant in Microsoft technologies such as Visual Basic, Windows API interfaces, and the formatting of Office documents. Although ordinary users rarely encounter the term, twips form part of the invisible numerical infrastructure that ensures consistent layout across different computers, printers, and operating systems.
