If you were looking at something small, it is more meaningful to say this is 20 microns long, instead of 0.02mm. When you talk about decimal places, it is harder to grasp the figure as quickly as people often working with microns grasp the relevance of 20micron. Such samples include fiber size, transsectional areas taken for cell viewing through a light microscope (using a microtome, you get a nice cut), etc.

How do you convert micrometres to millimetre in biology?
To convert micrometres (µm) to millimetres (mm) in biology, you divide the number of micrometres by 1,000, since 1 millimetre is equal to 1,000 micrometres. For example, if you have 500 µm, the conversion to millimetres would be 500 µm ÷ 1,000 = 0.5 mm. This conversion is useful for accurately measuring and comparing small biological structures.
