Microlevel

In a system which can be observed and described at many different scales and resolutions, a microlevel is a microscopic level of organization with a high resolution observable by the help of tools, for example microscopes. When comparing two levels of organization it is often convenient to refer to the lower (or higher resolution) level as the microlevel and the higher (or lower resolution) level as the macrolevel. This is for example the case in the micro-macro link (MML) problem.
