Hi Sussi,

you need the image scale in pixels per micrometer, e.g. by
taking a picture of an object with known dimensions.
Then, see the ImageJ documentation,
   http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/docs/menus/analyze.html#scale
or
   http://imagejdocu.tudor.lu/imagej-documentation-wiki/gui-commands/ 
set-scale
