То же, что micron.

А сокращение: _m_m -- первое _m_ -- греческое \"мю\"

Sorry, \"note above\" disappeared. Your are right, \"micrometer\" is used in this sense in the USA, I now discover, but in the UK it is still more normally a micron. To me, a micrometer is a measuring instrument used by engineers.

um


Explanation:
Поскольку в Plain Text греческие буквы не передаются, общепринятое сокращение для мкм = um, где u - это весьма приблизительный аналог греческой "мю" - без хвостика.
