In the latest daily build (1.51p1), you can deactivate this feature by
adding

   setOption("ConvertToMicrons",false);

to the Edit>Options>Startup dialog box. Update to the daily build by using
the Help>Update ImageJ command and selecting “daily build” from the drop
down menu.

The print() macro function defaults to 4 decimal places. You can override
this default by using the d2s() function. For example, this macro

   run("Blobs (25K)");
   run("Measure");
   mean = getResult("Mean");
   print("mean="+d2s(mean,9));

outputs

   mean=103.268577756
