micrometer vs micron

Some examples from the web:

• And just to give you a sense of the scale of the motions here, a pretty loud sound will cause that bag of chips to move less than a micrometer.
• So the way the Apollonian personality takes a picture or hangs a picture is, they'll get out a transit and a laser level and a micrometer.
• As you go farther down this scale here, that's a micron, or a micrometer, and we go all the way down to here to a nanometer and an angstrom.
• The system consists of small, straw-like porous microscopic tubes 1 micrometer in length and 1 nanometer in diameter made of pure carbon and groups of chemicals which are able to capture carbon dioxide.
• Use only an infusion set with an in-line, sterile, non-pyrogenic, low protein-binding filter (pore size 1.2 micrometer or less).
• Vectibix must be administered as an intravenous (IV) infusion via an infusion pump, using a low protein binding 0.2 or 0.22 micrometer in-line filter, through a peripheral line or indwelling catheter.
• Vectibix must be administered as an intravenous infusion via an infusion pump, using a low protein binding 0.2 or 0.22 micrometer in-line filter, through a peripheral line or indwelling catheter.
• Instead of using the term 'sanitary' fittings, it is appropriate to talk about 'low roughness fittings' i.e. fittings with a roughness average (Ra) of the surface finish below 0,8 micrometer.
• for centrifuging and filtration with or without an inert filtering agent according to point 3 of Annex I A to Regulation (EC) No 606/2009, the size of the pores shall be not smaller than 0,2 micrometer.
• I'll bet if you put a micrometer on this, it'd be a perfect sphere.
• a Walton-Beckett circular eyepiece graticule with an apparent diameter in the object plane of 100 micrometres ± 2 micrometres, when using the specified objective and eyepiece, checked against a stage micrometer.
• Nevertheless, the solution must be filtered with an in-line filter of 0.2 micrometer or 0.22 micrometer nominal pore size during administration.
• Now I'm dialing 31 minutes in the micrometer.
• Looks right, need a micrometer to tell.
• The terminal is also equipped with a precise contactless measuring device which determines the current insertion depth with 46 micrometer precision.
• Process of reducing the average diameter of a solid material's particles to the micrometer scale
• How can we get so much information out of so little motion? Well, let's say that those leaves move by just a single micrometer, and let's say that that shifts our image by just a thousandth of a pixel.
