Microstructure in pulsars occasionally has a quasi-periodic character with an average period of around 0.9 ms. A survey of this little known phenomenon (time characteristics, polarization, frequency behaviour, etc.) together with some new results are presented. Some physical interpretations (e.g. vibration of the neutron star, polar cap periodical sparking, standing wave pattern in the velocity of light cylinder model) are also presented.
