About micrometers and nanometers
Micrometer (µm)
A micrometer (µm) is one millionth of a meter. It is used for microscopic sizes such as cells and fine fibers.
Nanometer (nm)
A nanometer (nm) is one billionth of a meter. It is used for wavelengths of light and for sizes at the atomic and molecular scale.
µm to nm: common questions
- How many nanometers are in 1 micrometer?
- 1 micrometer (µm) is equal to 1,000 nanometers (nm). In short: 1 µm = 1,000 nm.
- How do I convert micrometers to nanometers?
- To convert µm to nm, multiply the value in micrometers by 1,000. For example, 5 µm = 5,000 nm.
- How do I convert nanometers to micrometers?
- To convert nm to µm, divide the value in nanometers by 1,000. Or open the Nanometer to Micrometer converter, which does it for you.
- What is 10 µm in nm, and what is 100 µm?
- 10 µm = 10,000 nm, and 100 µm = 1,00,000 nm. The table above lists more values from 1 to 1,000.
- Is this µm to nm converter accurate?
- Yes. It uses the exact conversion factor and shows results to as many as 8 decimal places, so you can rely on it for study, work and everyday measuring.
