Description

Microgram (μg): Measuring Trace Quantities

The microgram (μg) is a metric unit of mass equal to one-millionth of a gram. It is primarily used in scientific and medical contexts to measure extremely small masses, such as vitamin content in food or pollutant levels in the environment. The microgram enables accurate assessment of trace substances.

In healthcare, micrograms are vital for determining dosages of potent medications. Environmental scientists use micrograms to quantify pollutant concentrations. The unit's sensitivity is essential for monitoring and controlling substances at minute levels.

Scruple: Apothecaries' Unit for Small Masses

The scruple is an old apothecaries' unit of mass equal to 1/24 of an ounce or approximately 1.296 grams. Historically used in pharmacology to measure medicine dosages, it has since been replaced by the metric system in most applications.

Its historical significance persists in classical medical texts and traditional medicine references, where scruples were essential for accurate medicinal formulation.
