microstructural
- adjective
- /ˌmaɪkroʊˈstrʌkʧərəl/
- Specialized

Synonyms
Tiny parts of cells or tissues that you can only see with a very strong microscope
Small details of the structure of a material or living tissue seen with a microscope
How Small
Surface Forms
Morphology
microstructural = structural (transparent) = micro + structure + al
The adjective is formed by adding the prefix micro- to structural, and the resulting meaning is directly compositional.
Etymology
Microstructural is built from micro- meaning 'small', like in microscope, and structure meaning 'shape' or 'how parts are put together'. So microstructural describes the very small 'shape' or arrangement inside a material, especially what you see under a microscope.
