Semantics, Victor
1 micron is 1 millionth of a meter
1 microinch is 1 millionth of an inch
So, which is smaller? millionth of a meter or millionth of an inch?
A microinch is a smaller unit of measure.

I have been stating all along that MICRONS are a SMALLER unit of measure

You seem to be confusing microinches with mils. One microinch is thousandth
of mil, which is thousandth of inch. One microinch is 0.0254 microns.
Indrek,
Actually a proponent of the SI (Metric) system.
