<p>[QUOTE="Electron John, post: 2613156, member: 84417"]Good question. Macroscopic general refers to things large enough to be examined by the naked eye and microscopic is when you need a microscope to examine it. So while you can certainly see this defect with the naked eye so it is kind of macroscopic but you certainly can't see the detail that these images bring out with the naked eye so I would call even the 35x image a microscopic image. Certainly the higher mag images are microscopic. Another term that would apply is electron micrograph. Although I usually just call them SEM images.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
