mikvoltti

Mikvoltti is a term that does not have a widely established meaning in standard reference works. It can function as a Finnish-sounding surname, though it is rare and there is little verifiable information about its origin or distribution. No widely recognized individuals bearing the name Mikvoltti are documented in common biographical sources.

In another sense, mikvoltti is sometimes encountered as a misspelling or shorthand for mikrovoltti, the unit of electric potential equal to one microvolt (µV). The correct Finnish spelling is mikrovoltti, and the international symbol for the unit is µV. Microvolts are used to express very small voltages in electronics and biosignals.

In practical terms, microvolts are relevant in fields such as electronics, biomedical instrumentation, and sensor technology. They describe signals that are often on the order of tens to hundreds of microvolts, such as EEG brain signals that typically range from roughly 10 to 100 µV. Because such small voltages are easily obscured by noise, specialized equipment, high-precision amplifiers, and careful measurement techniques are employed to obtain meaningful data.
