Morphology

micromolar = molar (semi-transparent) = micro + molar

The structure is clear as micro- plus molar, but the term is specialized scientific vocabulary rather than everyday English.

Etymology

As a noun, micromolar names a unit that joins micro- 'small' with mole 'amount' in chemistry. It means a concentration of 'one millionth' of a mole 'per liter', so saying '10 micromolar' tells you the tiny amount of a substance in a litre of liquid.
