Formula

µm = cm × 10000

This conversion page is dedicated to the centimeter-to-micrometer direction so the unit relationship, reverse path and examples are easy to find. For scale-factor units, XpressCalculator converts through the domain base unit using internationally recognized unit definitions. Temperature scales use their standard offset-and-scale equations rather than a simple multiplier.

Worked example

Starting with 1 centimeter (cm), the converter returns 10000 micrometer (µm). For any other value, enter the number above and the browser recalculates the result immediately.

Helpful guide

Unit conversions are most reliable when the source value and unit are identified correctly. Do not confuse similarly named US customary and imperial units, and keep significant figures appropriate to the precision of the original measurement. For engineering, scientific, medical or safety-critical work, confirm the measurement standard required by your application.

Use sensible precision and verify critical decisions with an authoritative source or qualified professional.
