Inch (in)
Definition: An inch (symbol: in) is 1/12 of a foot or exactly 25.4 millimeters. It is deeply embedded in US manufacturing and daily life.
History: Derived from the Latin 'uncia' (1/12 of a Roman foot). Standardized internationally in 1959 to 25.4 mm, resolving variations between US and UK inches.
Current use: Prevails in US screen sizes (TVs, monitors), plumbing (pipe diameters), and tool calibration (e.g., wrench sizes). The UK uses inches informally for screen sizes and height.
Micrometer (µm)
Definition: A micrometer (symbol: µm), or micron, is one-millionth of a meter (0.000001 m). It measures microscopic structures like cells and wavelengths of infrared light.
History: Gained prominence with the development of microscopy in the 17th century. The term 'micron' was officially deprecated in 1967 in favor of 'micrometer' to align with SI standards.
Current use: Critical in biology (cell diameters), semiconductor manufacturing (transistor features), and air quality monitoring (particulate matter like PM2.5).
