square millimeter

Minuscule surface measurement

A square millimeter is a unit of area equal to a square measuring one millimeter on each side.

It's used for measuring very small surfaces—the cross-section of a wire, the size of a skin lesion, or the active area of a microchip.

One square centimeter contains 100 square millimeters.

Also spelled square millimetre.
