How do you convert micrometers to nanometers?
To convert micrometers to nanometers, multiply the number of micrometers by 1,000. 1 µm = 1,000 nm.
Nanometer = Micrometer × 1,000
Micrometers and nanometers in practice
1 µm = 1,000 nm, so multiply micrometers by 1,000: 0.55 µm = 550 nm.
Visible light spans roughly 380–750 nm (0.38–0.75 µm). Bacteria are a few micrometers long, while chip features, viruses and thin films are described in nanometers.

What is Micrometer?
Micrometer is a length unit used to express distance, size or travel range in practical measurement work.
Short history of Micrometer
The prefix micro- (one millionth, from Greek mikros, small) was formally adopted with the SI in 1960; the micrometer (often called a micron) is used for cell sizes, fiber diameters and machining tolerances.
