How to convert meters to microns
1 meter is equal to 1,000,000 microns, and 1 micron is equal to 0.000001 meters. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
microns = meters × 1,000,000
microns = meters ÷ 0.000001Example: convert 1 m to µ: 1 × 1,000,000 = 1,000,000 µ.

About the meter
The meter is the SI base unit of length. Since 1983 it has been defined as the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second. It's used for everyday measurement almost everywhere in the world.
Symbol: m · 1 m = 1 m · Category: Metric (SI)
About the micron
The micron is the older name for the micrometer (one millionth of a meter). It's still common in filtration, semiconductor manufacturing and particle sizes.
Symbol: µ · 1 µ = 0.000001 m · Category: Metric (SI)
