Micrometers (µm) measure cells (human cell = ~10–30 µm), bacteria (1–5 µm), and microelectronics. Pollen grains are ~15–100 µm wide. The Rod (or pole/perch) was historically used in land surveying and agriculture. Measuring exactly 16.5 feet, rods were commonly used to define property boundaries. A standard American football field is 320 rods long (including end zones). This unit still appears in some property deeds and agricultural measurements.
To convert between Micrometer (µm) and Rod (rd), use the following formulas:
1 Micrometer (µm) = 1.9883878151594685e-7 Rod (rd)
1 Rod (rd) = 5029200.000000001 Micrometer (µm)
1 µm = 1 * 1.9883878151594685e-7 rd = 1.9883878151594685e-7 rd
10 µm = 10 * 1.9883878151594685e-7 rd = 0.0000019883878151594686 rd
50 µm = 50 * 1.9883878151594685e-7 rd = 0.000009941939075797342 rd
100 µm = 100 * 1.9883878151594685e-7 rd = 0.000019883878151594684 rd
500 µm = 500 * 1.9883878151594685e-7 rd = 0.00009941939075797343 rd
