[ 2 ] These devices offer the promi... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micropower |
A microprobe is an instrument that applies a stable and well-focused beam of charged particles ( electrons or ions ) to a sample.
When the primary beam consists of accelerated electrons, the probe is termed an electron microprobe , when the primary beam consists of accelerated ions, the term ion microprobe is used. Th... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microprobe |
The microprocessor complex is a protein complex involved in the early stages of processing microRNA (miRNA) and RNA interference (RNAi) in animal cells. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The complex is minimally composed of the ribonuclease enzyme Drosha and the dimeric RNA-binding protein DGCR8 (also known as Pasha in non-human animals), a... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microprocessor_complex |
A microprocessor development board is a printed circuit board containing a microprocessor and the minimal support logic needed for an electronic engineer or any person who wants to become acquainted with the microprocessor on the board and to learn to program it. It also served users of the microprocessor as a method t... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microprocessor_development_board |
A microprotein (miP) is a small protein encoded from a small open reading frame (sORF), [ 1 ] also known as sORF-encoded protein ( SEP ). They are a class of protein with a single protein domain that are related to multidomain proteins. [ 2 ] Microproteins regulate larger multidomain proteins at the post-translational ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microprotein |
Micropumps are devices that can control and manipulate small fluid volumes. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Although any kind of small pump is often referred to as a micropump, a more accurate definition restricts this term to pumps with functional dimensions in the micrometer range. Such pumps are of special interest in microfluidic rese... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micropump |
A micropyle is a pore in the membrane covering the ovum , through which a sperm enters.
Micropyles are also found in sporozoites of some digenetic microorganisms such as Plasmodium at the anterior part of the cell that ultimately leads towards the apical cap. Examples of other organisms that have micropyles are the Bom... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micropyle_(zoology) |
A Microraft ( Isoraft ) is an arrays of microwells for cell sorting , isolating cells , analyzing cells over time, and generating clonal populations . [ 1 ] This platform provides biomedical scientists with access to diverse cell culture surfaces with integrated, easy-to-use cell separating capabilities at low cost.

A microreactor or microstructured reactor or microchannel reactor is a device in which chemical reactions take place in a confinement with typical lateral dimensions below 1 mm;
the most typical form of such confinement are microchannels . [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Microreactors are studied in the field of micro process engineering ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microreactor |
A microsatellite is a tract of repetitive DNA in which certain DNA motifs (ranging in length from one to six or more base pairs ) are repeated, typically 5–50 times. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Microsatellites occur at thousands of locations within an organism's genome . They have a higher mutation rate than other areas of DNA [ 3 ] l... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsatellite |
Microsatellite enrichment is a method in molecular biology used for enriching the amount of microsatellite sequences in a DNA sample. This can be achieved by designing oligonucleotide probes that hybridize with the repeats in the microsatellites and then pull out the probe/microsatellite complexes from the solution.
