How to Convert Nanometers to Micrometers
Converting nanometers (nm) to micrometers (µm) is a common conversion in wavelength measurements. One nanometer is equal to 0.001 micrometers.
Formula
Micrometers = Nanometers × 0.001
or
µm = nm × 0.001
Step-by-step process
- Take the measurement in nanometers
- Multiply that number by 0.001
- The result is the equivalent amount in micrometers
Examples
- 1 nm = 0.001 µm
- 10 nm = 0.01 µm
- 100 nm = 0.1 µm

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Nanometer (nm)?
A nanometer (nm) is a unit of length equal to one billionth of a meter (10⁻⁹ meters). It is commonly used for measuring very small distances, such as the wavelengths of visible light or the size of atoms and molecules.
What is a Micrometer (µm)?
A micrometer (µm) is a unit of length equal to one millionth of a meter (10⁻⁶ meters). It is commonly used for measuring very small distances, such as the wavelengths of infrared light or the size of microorganisms.
