1 microsecond – the length of time of a high-speed, commercial strobe light flash (see air-gap flash). 1 microsecond – protein folding takes place on the order of microseconds (thus this is the speed of carbon-based life). 1.8 microseconds – the amount of time subtracted from the Earth's day as a result of the 2011 Japanese earthquake.

microsecond: 10 −6 s: One millionth of a second. Symbol is μs millisecond: 10 −3 s: One thousandth of a second. Shortest time unit used on stopwatches. jiffy (electronics) ~ 10 −3 s: Used to measure the time between alternating power cycles. Also a casual term for a short period of time. centisecond: 10 −2 s: One hundredth of a second ...

A nanosecond is equal to 1000 picoseconds or 1 / 1000 microsecond. Time units ranging between 10 −8 and 10 −7 seconds are typically expressed as tens or hundreds of nanoseconds. Time units of this granularity are commonly found in telecommunications, pulsed lasers, and related aspects of electronics.
