Microsecond: SI unit of time
A microsecond (sometimes shortened to μs) is one millionth of a second.
This page lists times between 10−6 seconds (1 microsecond) and 10−5 seconds (10 microseconds).
One microsecond contains 1000 nanoseconds. There are 1000 microseconds in one millisecond.
- 1 microsecond – the amount of time it takes for a high-speed camera flash to finish.
- 2 microseconds – the life time of a muonium particle
