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.
As an aside, a “slow motion camera” and a “high speed camera” are understood to be the same object, being a camera that can capture at high frame rates, to slow down apparent motion in the video output.
