Difference Between Micro and Macro? What is the difference between a micro and a macro lens? This would be used for the Details and Macro category of the contest. Thank you, Merna

Photographically, macro is getting close enough to small things or details that you can still see with your eye, and getting a large image of it. Micro would be actually hooking a camera up to a microscope for details or things that you would need a microscope to see.

Technically speaking, Gregory is correct. However, Nikon/Nikkor uses the term "Micro" to describe its line of lenses which will focus to 1:1 (or 1:2). (...so what's in a name?)
