garry,
1nf (1 nanofarad) would be written .001uf (.001 microfarad) or 1000pf
(1000 picofarad, or sometimes called micro micro farad, uuf).
1mf, as jim lux pointed out, should actually be 1 milla farad or 1000
microfarads. i to have been guilty of using mf for uf in the past but am
trying to keep it straight now, although i see commercial caps with mfd
as microfarad, go figure? it's a lot easier to say 1nf then .001uf, so a
10 nf (nonofarad) cap would be the same as a  .010uf (microfarad)
capacitor, these ae in the ranges of tc use. hope this helps you because
i think i confused myself?,    marc
