What is a stone?
A stone is a British imperial unit of mass equal to 14 pounds or exactly 6.35029318 kilograms. The stone was historically used across Europe with regionally varying values before Britain standardized it at 14 pounds. It remains in everyday use in the UK and Ireland for body weight despite metrication.
Common uses of stone include: Body weight in the UK and Ireland; Weigh-ins for sports and fitness in Britain; Historical and livestock weight references; Everyday conversational weight in the British Isles.
What is a microgram?
A microgram is a metric unit of mass equal to one millionth of a gram (0.000001 g) or one billionth of a kilogram. The microgram (sometimes abbreviated 'mcg' in medicine to avoid confusion with 'mg') became important with the discovery of vitamins and hormones that are active in tiny quantities. The prefix 'micro' comes from the Greek for 'small'.
Common uses of micrograms include: Vitamin and trace-mineral dosages (e.g. vitamin D, B12); Hormone and potent drug amounts; Environmental contaminant concentrations; Analytical chemistry and toxicology.
