microdrop

Minuscule liquid sphere

A microdrop is an extremely small droplet of liquid, typically measured in microliters or smaller.

The term appears in scientific and medical contexts—laboratory procedures, fertility treatments, and pharmaceutical research often involve precise manipulation of microdrops: The embryologist placed a microdrop of culture medium on the dish.
