从极小尺度或细微处出发观察事物的角度或方式。cóng jí xiǎo chǐ dù huò xì wēi chù chū fā guān chá shì wù de jiǎo dù huò fāng shì

微观 (wēiguān, "microscopic") combines 微 (wēi, "small and fine") with 观 (guān, "to view"), forming a term for examining things at a very small scale.

In everyday Chinese, this word usually sounds analytical or scientific, so a simpler word is more natural for an ordinary small object.
