Academic text (2004) -
Interest in the physics of condensed matter at size scales larger than that of atoms but smaller than that of bulk solids—so-called mesoscopic physics—has grown rapidly over the past two decades, but it stems from much earlier beginnings in diverse disciplines.
Academic text (1993) -
The term 'mesoscopic' is used to describe sizes that are not visible to the naked eye but are larger than atomic scale.
How Big
Surface Forms
Morphology
mesoscopic = scopic (transparent) = meso + scopic
Formed by the combining form 'meso-' (middle) plus the observational combining form '-scopic', a straightforward scientific adjective formation.
Etymology
Mesoscopic combines meso- 'middle' with -scopic like scope in microscope, 'to look', so it points to a 'middle' size. That is why mesoscopic describes the scale between micro- 'very small' and macro- 'large', meaning something that is neither tiny nor big but in between.
