Ned Help Understanding Microns/microinch

Hello All,

Recently my boss found a non contact surface meter that is accurate to 35 microns (it has the symbol that looks like a backward y and m (ym)). We use inches for the whole company and the smallest surface finish we have is a 12 Ra. Our surface meters (mahr federal pocket surf meter) are set to microinch.

Is this non contact device accurate enough to check my surface finish?

I need help understanding before he buys it and makes me make it work.

Is 1 micron shown as 1.00 or 0.001?

Thanks in advance.
