He'd be on her ass in a microsecond, revoke her letters testamentary, they'd call her names, proclaim her through all Orange County as a redistributionist and pinko, slip the old man from Warpe, Wistfull, Kubitschek and McMingus in as administrator de bonis non and so much baby for code, constellations, shadow-legatees.
The data word processor 606 handles the in-flow and out-flow of byte-oriented input/output data and interleaved signals at a rate of, for example, 500 kilobytes per second. Instruction processing rates of four to eight per microsecond are required for such a data flow.
The hemifused intermediate state dominates on the microsecond time scale, with a decay t_(1/2) of 6.3 μs. […] On the submillisecond time scale, long-lived hemifusion intermediates dominate; this population decays over a time scale of several microseconds (t_(1/2) = 6.3 μs) to yield fully fused vesicles.
O₂^(•−) and OH^• are highly unstable (half-life at the level of microseconds and nanoseconds, respectively) and cannot cross membrane, while H₂O₂, though not a free radical but a ROS, is relatively stable (half-life around 1 ms) (Møller et al. 2007) and can cross membranes through aquaporins.

Use microsecond when its meaning, tone and grammar fit the full sentence. A synonym is not always a direct replacement.
Microsecond means (metrology) An SI unit of time equal to 10⁻⁶ seconds. Symbol: μs.
The closest synonym depends on the sentence and intended sense.
The opposite depends on the specific sense.
