macroscopically
At observable scale
Macroscopically means at a scale visible to the naked eye, without magnification.
The term contrasts with microscopically: Macroscopically, the tissue appeared normal, but under the microscope we found abnormalities.
In physics and philosophy, macroscopically describes phenomena at the level of everyday objects rather than atoms or particles.
