micrograph

Microscope-captured photograph

A micrograph is a photograph or digital image taken through a microscope, showing objects too small to see with the naked eye.

Scientists use micrographs to document and share what they observe at microscopic scales, from cell structures to crystal formations.

The term also refers to the process of producing such images.

The electron micrograph revealed the virus's distinctive spike proteins.
