Micro

Micro or Mikro, from the Greek μικρός (mikrós), means "small". It can be used to indicate a smaller than average scale (microscopic scale), as opposed to prefixes mega and macro, which can be used to indicate a larger than average scale.

Micro may refer to:

  • micro- (μ) a prefix in the SI and other systems of units denoting a factor of 10−6 (one millionth)
  • MICRO Information Management System, an early set-theoretic database management system
  • Micro programming language, a simple programming language used in teaching compiler construction techniques
  • Micro, a mostly-obsolete term for a microcomputer
  • Micro cell, a common AAA-sized battery
  • Micro (Thai band), a Thai rock band
  • Micro (car), the first car company from Sri Lanka
  • Micro (novel), a novel written by Michael Crichton and Richard Preston
  • Micro (wrestler), a Japanese professional wrestler
  • Micro, North Carolina
  • Mikro (Greek band), a Greek electronic music group
  • International Symposium on Microarchitecture, one of the most important academic conferences on computer architecture
  • Micro-

    Micro- (symbol µ) is a unit prefix in the metric system denoting a factor of 10−6 (one millionth). Confirmed in 1960, the prefix comes from the Greek μικρός (mikrós), meaning "small".

    The symbol for the prefix comes from the Greek letter μ (mu). It is the only SI prefix which uses a character not from the Latin alphabet.

    Examples:

  • The size of the influenza virus is about 0.8 to 1.2 micrometres.
  • Typical bacteria are 1 to 10 micrometres in diameter. Eukaryotic cells are typically 10 to 100 micrometres in diameter.
  • The metric system was introduced in 1795 with several metric prefixes, of which, however, only six were adopted as SI prefixes by the 11th CGPM conference in 1960, whereas myria (104) as well as double and demi were not adopted. In 1873, micro and mega were recommended by the British Association for the Advancement of Science. The other dates relate to recognition by a resolution of the CGPM.
  • Symbol encoding in character sets

    For historical reasons, there are two different characters in Unicode, which appear slightly different in some fonts, although most fonts use the same glyph. The micro sign (µ) is encoded in the "Latin-1 Supplement" range identical to ISO/IEC 8859-1 (since 1985), at U+00B5 (Unicode 1.0, 1991). The Greek letter (μ) is encoded in the Greek range at U+03BC. According to The Unicode Consortium, the Greek letter character is preferred, but implementations must recognize the micro sign as well.
