Mikro är ett SI-prefix som betyder 10-6 (0,000 001). Det betecknas med den grekiska bokstaven µ (my), och med bokstaven u om µ inte finns till förfogande. Några exempel på användning: * 1 mikrometer (µm) = 0,000 001 meter (1 miljondels meter) * 1 µg = 0,000 001 gram Prefixet mikro infördes officiellt 1960. Innan dess kallades mikrometern mikron och betecknades µ.
