SI unit of time equal to one millionth of a second or 1/1,000th of a millisecond
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.
