What is a microinch used for?

A microinch is commonly used in engineering to express very small distances such as surface roughness, coating thickness, and fine tolerances on machined parts.

Why convert microinch to Bohr radius?

This conversion helps relate small engineering measurements to atomic-scale lengths used in quantum chemistry and physics, enabling cross-scale comparisons.

Is this conversion used for direct physical measurements?

No, it is mainly theoretical or for bridging measurement scales because microinch and Bohr radius units originate from different scientific domains.
