How to convert micrometers to microns
1 micrometer is equal to 1 microns, and 1 micron is equal to 1 micrometers. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
microns = micrometers × 1
microns = micrometers ÷ 1Example: convert 15 µm to µ: 15 × 1 = 15 µ.

About the micrometer
A micrometer is one millionth of a meter. It's used to measure cells, bacteria, fibers and the thickness of coatings and films.
Symbol: µm · 1 µm = 0.000001 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.
