microanalyst
Small-scale sample researcher
A microanalyst is someone who performs microanalysis—the chemical or physical examination of very small quantities of material, often at microscopic scales.
The term appears most frequently in laboratory and forensic contexts, where specialists analyze minute samples of substances to determine their composition.
The microanalyst identified trace amounts of the compound in the sample.
