microscopist
Studies tiny things
A microscopist is someone who uses a microscope, especially as a profession or area of expertise.
The term typically refers to specialists in scientific or medical fields who examine specimens at high magnification: The microscopist identified the parasite in the blood sample.
It implies skill in preparation and analysis, not just casual use of the instrument.
