What is a micron used for?

A micron is a unit used to measure microscopic lengths, such as particle sizes, biological cells, and thin films.

Why convert microns to the Greek cubit?

Conversion allows researchers to relate modern microscopic measurements to ancient Greek units for archaeology and historical metrology.

Is the Greek cubit length fixed?

No, the Greek cubit's length varied by location and time, so conversions are approximate.
