What is a dekameter used for?

A dekameter is used for measuring distances on the order of tens of meters, such as in topographic mapping, meteorology, and describing lengths in local infrastructure.

What does a micron measure?

A micron is a unit equal to one millionth of a meter, commonly used to measure microscopic sizes like particles, biological cells, and film thickness.
