Units explained
Imperial Minim
An imperial minim is 1/60 of a fluid drachm (≈0.0592 mL).
The smallest British apothecaries' fluid unit.
Historical compounding.
UK apothecaries' system.
Milliliter
A milliliter is one thousandth of a liter, exactly equal to one cubic centimeter.
Formed with the SI prefix milli- applied to the liter.
The standard small-volume unit in cooking, medicine and the laboratory.
Metric prefix system.

- The product is the equivalent value in milliliters (mL).
- To reverse, multiply the milliliter value by 16.8936382694.
Worked examples
Example 1 — Convert 1 min to mL:
1 × 0.0591938802 = 0.0591938802 mL
Example 2 — Convert 100 min to mL:
100 × 0.0591938802 = 5.9193880208 mL
Real-world example — Sub-visible-light wavelength
500 imperial minims (the green-yellow visible band) equals 0.5 milliliters — the canonical conversion in optics between wavelength specifications and micron-scale lens-coating thicknesses.
500 min × 0.0591938802 = 29.5969401042 mL
Real-world example — Spanning sub-micron to micron scale
Crossing from imperial minims to milliliters is the everyday workflow of microscopy and semiconductor engineering — a measurement of 1000 imperial minims translates to a much more compact value in milliliters that fits the scale of biological cells and process nodes.
1000 min × 0.0591938802 = 59.1938802083 mL
