Micrite
Micrite is a limestone composed of microcrystalline calcite, or carbonate mud with grains typically 1 to 4 μm, named by Robert L. Folk in 1959 for his carbonate rock classification.
Micro black hole
A micro black hole, or mini black hole, is a hypothetical tiny black hole dominated by quantum effects, neither primordial nor collider-made ones ever observed.
Micro Four Thirds system
Micro Four Thirds is an open lens-mount standard for mirrorless cameras, announced by Olympus and Panasonic in 2008, removing the mirror box for smaller, lighter bodies and lenses.
Micro particle image velocimetry
Micro particle image velocimetry (μPIV) is an optical technique measuring whole-field fluid velocity in microfluidic channels by imaging fluorescent tracer particles, resolving flows finer than one micron.
Micro-
Micro- is the SI prefix denoting one millionth (10−6) of a unit, written μ, adopted into the SI in 1960 and used in units like the micrometre and microgram.
Micro-computed tomography
Micro-computed tomography, also known as micro-CT or microtomography, is a non-destructive X-ray technique reconstructing 3D images of a specimen's internal structure at voxel sizes down to about 1 µm.
