Definition of microanalysis in English:
microanalysis
noun ˌmʌɪkrəʊəˈnalɪsɪsˌmaɪkroʊəˈnæləsəs
mass nounThe quantitative analysis of chemical compounds using a sample of a few milligrams.
Example sentencesExamples

- It was shown by X-ray microanalysis that high [K +] and low [Na +] existed in the endodermal cells of alkali grass roots, suggesting this to be the tissue where Cs + inhibition occurs.
- The results of x-ray microanalysis allowed us to identify the fibers as the tremolite-actinolite fibrous amphibole found in the quarries and in the building material of Biancavilla.
