From this sentence I read:

> これらの手法はクリティカルセクションが（例えば100μ秒以内などの）一定時間以内に終わるよう精密にプログラミングすることを要求する。

How am I supposed to pronounce μ秒 ? Should I pronounce it as "mu byou"? or
"micro byou"? I also looked up μm (micrometer) and found that it is マイクロメートル.
I found a few other ones that are just loanwords like マイクロアンペア for μA. Can
this convention be applied to 秒 as well?

Is there a convention to use with other measurements too? For example "pico",
"nano", "femto"?

question
pronunciation
How do Japanese pronounce microseconds (μ秒)?
μ as a character (記号) would be pronounced ミュー. But when used as a measurement
I would agree with @Teno's findings that it will be pronounced マイクロ, based off
of [the link he
provided](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%9B%BD%E9%9A%9B%E5%8D%98%E4%BD%8D%E7%B3%BB).

If you take a look at the Wikipedia page for 秒 you'll find that they write out
マイクロ秒 on the page (though not in direct relation to μ秒),
[http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/秒](http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%A7%92).
