What is a micron used for?

A micron quantifies very small lengths like particle sizes, biological cells, and thin film thicknesses commonly in science and engineering.

What does the classical electron radius represent?

It is a derived theoretical length scale indicating the distance where electrostatic self-energy equals electron rest energy; it is not the electron’s physical size.

Why convert from micron to classical electron radius?

This conversion relates small-scale measurements to fundamental physical constants, useful in physics fields involving electromagnetic scattering.
