The word micron has the following meanings:
A micrometre (American spelling: micrometer, symbol µm), that is, one millionth of a metre. The term was officially sanctioned as part of the metric system from 1879-1967 and is still used in some fields of activity.
In vacuum physics the expression 'micron' stands for 'µm Hg' which is equal to 0.13328 Pa
