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. Eyes are organs that detect Light, and send signals along the Optic nerve to the visual areas of the brain A lens is an optical device with perfect or approximate Axial symmetry which transmits and refracts Light, converging or diverging A microscope ( Greek: ( micron) = small + ( skopein) = to look or see is an instrument for viewing objects that are By convention it is 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. Cladocera or cladocerans are small Crustaceans commonly called Water fleas, part of the Class Branchiopoda. Algae ( sing. alga are a large and diverse group of simple typically Autotrophic organisms ranging from Unicellular to Multicellular forms This article is about Volvox a colony of microorganisms For the rock music band with the same name see Volvox (band Volvox Stentor are a group of filter feeders and diggers a Genius of Ciliate Protozoa, representative of the Heterotrichs The body is generally

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. In Lexical semantics, opposites are words that lie in an inherently incompatible binary relationship as in the opposite pairs male: female, long: short Macroscopic is commonly used to describe physical objects that are measurable and observable by the Naked eye. In Physics, length scale is a particular Length or Distance determined with the precision of one order (or a few orders of magnitude A micrometre ( American spelling: micrometer; symbol µm) is one millionth of a Metre, or equivalently one thousandth of a Millimetre

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!"

Hyperbole (haɪˈpɝːbəli hye-PER-buh-lee; "HYE-per-bowl" is a mispronunciation comes from Greek "υπερβολή" (meaning exaggeration and is a
