  Microcrith \Mi`cro*crith"\, n. [Micro- + crith.] (Chem.)
     The weight of the half hydrogen molecule, or of the hydrogen
     atom, at one time taken as the standard in comparing the
     atomic weights of the elements; thus, an atom of oxygen
     weighs sixteen microcriths. This unit is no longer used, and
     has been replaced by the {Dalton}, which is of approximately


     the same value. See {molecular weight} and {Crith}. --J. P.
     Cooke.
     [1913 Webster +PJC]

From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 [gcide]:

  Dalton \Dalton\ n.
     John Dalton, scientist, born 1766, died 1844.
  
     Syn: John Dalton.

From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 [gcide]:

  dalton \dalton\ n. [from the chemist John Dalton, proponent of
     the modern atomic theory of matter.]
     a unit of mass, approximately 1.66 x 10^{-24} grams; -- it is
     approximately equal to the mass of one hydrogen atom, but the
     exact value differs slightly as used in physics and
     chemistry. It is used mostly to describe the size of proteins
     and nucleic acids in biochemistry.
  
     Note: Molecular weights are often expressed as dimensionless
           units, the unit being understood (in chemistry) to be
           the atomic mass unit with carbon equal to 14. Thus
           having a "molecular weight of 255" means the same as
           each molecule having a mass of 255 daltons.
  
     Syn: Syn. atomic mass unit.
