My "Physical Calculations" text says there are 10e6 microns per meter (sorry!
That'd be "metre" in Angleish). So, as "millimetre" is a familiar term,
saying "1000 microns per millimeter" is about as sensible as saying "1
million microns per metre", no? See, I are ignernt, and kain't spel,
neethur, so I hafta do bestes I kin!
