Current Use
Microliters are commonly used in laboratories for measuring small liquid volumes, such as in chemistry, biology, and medical diagnostics, often in conjunction with micropipettes and microfluidic devices.
Tun
A tun is a large unit of volume traditionally used to measure liquids, especially wine and other beverages, equivalent to approximately 252 gallons or 954 liters.
History/Origin
