microscopically
On cellular level
Microscopically means at a scale visible only through a microscope, or by extension, with extreme attention to minute detail.
The tissue was examined microscopically.
She went over the contract microscopically.
The word suggests scrutiny so fine that nothing escapes notice—whether literal examination of cells or figurative inspection of fine print.
