Macro and Micro are both used in photography.
Macro generally is when a lens will reproduce an object the same size on film/sensor as it is in life.
Micro is for smaller subjects at higher magnifications such as using a microscope.

Hey that’s pretty cool. Is it really what happens?
Yep, most macro lenses such as the 90 to 105 range from Sigma, Canon, Nikon and their ilk tend to have a designation like 1:1 in the description.
This is normally based on a 35mm frame size, for cropped sensors the magnification is greater.
Depends, I think. In the same order of magnitude definitely.
Edit: this makes me wonder, is it possible to get an orthographic perspective with an ordinary size (but maybe not standard) lens on a normal camera?
