cinephotomicrography
Quick Summary
Cinephotomicrography is the process of taking motion pictures of objects that have been magnified by a microscope. This technique is valuable for observing and documenting dynamic processes such as the growth of organisms, the movement of colloids, and the progression of chemical reactions.1
While the term "cinemicrography" is also used and is synonymous with cinephotomicrography, the latter specifically refers to the photographic aspect of capturing these magnified moving images. This method allows for detailed study and analysis of microscopic phenomena that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to observe in real-time.21
