The X-unit is a historical measure used in X-ray crystallography and spectroscopy to express X-ray wavelengths and interatomic distances.

Why convert X-units to micrometers?

Converting to micrometers allows relating historical atomic-scale measurements to modern, widely accepted SI units for clearer scientific communication.

Where is this conversion most commonly used?

It is mainly used in fields such as X-ray crystallography, materials science, and spectroscopy for understanding atomic and microscale dimensions.
