Conversion Definitions

The following is a list of definitions relating to conversions between nanometers and micrometers.

What is a nanometer (nm)?

A nanometer is a unit of Length or Distance in the Metric System. The symbol for nanometer is nm. There are 1,000 nanometers in a micrometer. The International spelling for this unit is nanometre.

What is a micrometer (μm)?

A micrometer is a unit of Length or Distance in the Metric System. The symbol for micrometer is μm. There are 0.001 micrometers in a nanometer. The International spelling for this unit is micrometre.

Conversion Formula

Let's take a closer look at the conversion formula so that you can do these conversions yourself with a calculator or with an old-fashioned pencil and paper.

The formula to convert from nm to micrometers is:

micrometers = nm ÷ 1,000

Conversion Example

Next, let's look at an example showing the work and calculations that are involved in converting from nanometers to micrometers (nm to μm).

Nanometer to Micrometer Conversion Example

Task: Convert 450,000 nanometers to micrometers (show work) Formula: nm ÷ 1,000 = micrometers Calculations: 450,000 nm ÷ 1,000 = 450 micrometers Result: 450,000 nm is equal to 450 micrometers
