Everything about Microscopic totally explained
Microscopic is a term used to describe those objects smaller than can not be easily seen by the naked
eye and which require a
lens or
microscope to see them clearly. By convention it's also used to describe classes of objects which are most commonly too small to see but of which some members are large enough to be observed with the eye. Such groups include the
Cladocera, planktonic green
algae of which
Volvox is readily observable, and the protozoa of which
Stentor can be easily seen without aid.
Microscopic is also by association used to classify and describe the units and measurements relevant to very small objects. The
antonym to microscopic is
macroscopic
The units used to describe objects on a microscopic
length scale are most commonly the
Micrometer (
µm) - one millionth of 1 metre, and smaller units.
Microscopic is also commonly used as a
hyperbole in the English language to describe small objects of a class that would be expected to be bigger - as in
"Her feet are microscopic!"
