micro means 10 to the -6 inches so for example 32 microinches would be 0.000032 inch. With respect to surface finish it is basically a measure of the height of the "peaks and valleys" of the finish of a surface. There are different ways to measure this (RMS, etc.) but that is basically what it means. So for example a 125 microinch finish is a typical machined fnish for metals but a 32 is much better and would be called out where sealing surfaces may be needed.
