micrometer (Î¼m) [ 1 mÄ«kromâ²ÉtÉr] 2  1 an instrument used for measuring small angles or distances on objects being observed through a microscope or telescope. 3  2 [mÄ«â²krÅmÄâ²tÉr] , a unit of measurement, commonly referred to as a micron, that equals one millionth (10-6) of a meter.
At this scale, we have our micrometer divided into. thousandths. One 1000th of a micrometer is a nanometer, or nm. Notice that the. nanometer is three orders of magnitude smaller than the micrometer, which is. three orders of magnitude smaller than the millimeter, which is three orders of. magnitude smaller than the meter. Therefore, one nanometer is 1/1,000,000,000. of a meter. Identify and label the nm.
