   • Electrophysiological techniques of two-electrode voltage clamp or patch clamp measure ion currents across membrane of plant cells (protoplasts for patch clamp) under determined applied voltage via the membrane and provide current-voltage curves with resolution up to pA and μseconds (Figures 4 and 5). 2018, Vadim Volkov, Mary J. Beilby, Salinity Tolerance in Plants: Mechanisms and Regulation of Ion Transport, page 61:
   • In the 625-line system the line banking period is 12 μ'''seconds, so that the active line time is 52 μseconds. 1991, Jim Slater, Modern Television Systems, page 116:
   • The transmitter was designed as a linear amplifier with a bandwidth of 5 MHz, allowing (in principle) pulse lengths down to about 30 m, although the final pulse width chosen was about 0.1 to 1 μ'''second. 2016, Wayne K. Hocking, Jürgen Röttger, Robert D. Palmer, Toru Sato, Phillip B.
