Angstrom unit

Angstrom unit
Small unit of measurement (10-10m) named after Swedish physicist and astronomer. Much used as a unit in early electron microscopy though since it is not in the approved mks system should probably be avoided (but nanometres, which are 10 times larger are sometimes less convenient).
