To convert 8 micrometer to millimeter, divide 8 by 1000. This yields 0.0080 millimeter.

8 micrometer equals exactly 0.008000 millimeter. For practical purposes, this is often rounded to 0.0080 millimeter.

Objects measuring approximately 8 micrometer include a human red blood cell (7.5 micrometer), the core of a single-mode optical fiber (8.5 micrometer), and fine abrasive polishing compound grit (8 micrometer).

Converting micrometer to millimeter is useful for standardizing measurements across different scales in engineering, manufacturing, and scientific research. It simplifies documentation and communication, especially when dealing with both microscopic and macroscopic components in a single system, such as in microelectronics or medical device assembly.

A simple memory aid is to remember that 'micro' means one millionth, and 'milli' means one thousandth. To go from micrometer to millimeter, you divide by 1000, which means moving the decimal point three places to the left. For 8 micrometer, visualize 8.0 and shift the decimal to get 0.0080 millimeter.
