Convert Nanocandelas to Microcandelas
Convert Nanocandelas (ncd) to Microcandelas (µcd) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
µcd = ncd × 0.001
About Nanocandelas
The nanocandela (ncd) equals 10⁻⁹ cd. The scale of extremely faint bioluminescence: a single luciferin-luciferase reaction emits around 1-10 ncd; dark-adapted firefly flashes peak at a few hundred ncd. Also the range for cooled avalanche-photodiode sensitivity characterisation. 1 ncd = 10⁻⁹ cd.
About Microcandelas
The microcandela (µcd) equals 10⁻⁶ cd. LED indicators in standby or low-power mode: many SMD status LEDs operate at 1-100 µcd when current-limited to 10-100 µA. Also the typical sensitivity threshold of modern photomultiplier tube assemblies. 1 µcd = 10⁻⁶ cd.
