Can you show me or tell me an item that is 1 micron?

Whatever it is, if it measures 1,000th of a millimeter wide, it is 1 micron wide. Examples of some small measurements: A typical human hair is 100 microns wide (a 1/10th of a millimeter). A red blood cell is 7 microns wide (less than 1/100th of a millimeter). Here's a neat interactive video of small things for you: http://www.cellsalive.com/howbig.htm A staphylococcus bacteria in the video looks to be just under 1 micron wide. Most viruses are much, much smaller still!

Eighteen thousandths of a millimeter. 0.0018 cm = 0.018 mm = 18 µm (micrometer) Human hair width actually ranges from 17 to 181 µm. 181 µm is almost .2 mm so you could say "about a fifth of a millimeter for coarse hair"
