What is a Point?
The point is the smallest typographic unit (∼0.353 mm). The PostScript point standardized it as exactly 1/72 inch (0.3528 mm). Font sizes are measured in points - 12pt text has capital letters about 4.2 mm tall.
What is a Micron?
A micron (μm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to one millionth of a meter (10⁻⁶ m). Widely used in physics, engineering, and biology to measure microscopic objects like cells, bacteria, and wavelengths of infrared radiation.
