3. Involving structure on a localized, small scale.
   broadly, not-comparable
4. Having a miniaturized form.
   not-comparable
5. Involving substances in which extremely small volumes are involved (such as antibiotics, antibodies or viruses).
   not-comparable
6. "Thickened" using formal canonical relations between the cotangent bundles of smooth manifolds.

Examples

“For example, the note values and tonality of a phrase cannot be chosen independently of those of the other phrases; and similar restirctions apply also for many other microformal characteristics.”

“However, the results of the research do implicitly show how musical form reflects and implies some of these mental devices. In the first two repertories examined, the rules have been divided into two categories: macroformal and microformal rules.”

“General similarities and symmetries, broad tonal relationships, compass of parts, and so forth belong to the macroformal plane, while internal phrase structure, pitch contour, rhythmic peculiarities, and the like belong to the microformal plane (Baroni and Callegari 1989).”

“Each section harbours a ternary microformal pattern based upon its own thematic content.”

“Other microformal characteristics also mark these traditional, oral tales, such as the absence of the necessary enjambment — the basic element is the line or the hemistich, as also in the romancero -- and what Parry calls the thrift of formulaic art ("each position in the verse tends to allow one way rather than many ways of saying any one thing" if we are speaking of a single bard), a quality also found in Hesiod.”

“Shakespeare's microformal analysis is the commensurate response to a world of forms emerging into and out of relation.”

“Each of these pieces deals with the microformal elements of the text in ways that underpin my larger, structural argument about the imaginative effect of the text.”

“Both microformal and mesoformal deformations of the bed are considered in the analytical study.”

“A program of excavation in commoner house groups was selected with the intention of recovering a representative sample of diagnostic ceramics, which would be subjected to a fine-grained microformal analysis as well as a battery of standard tests and classification.”

“Respectful of its microformal origins, it is distributed with a microfiche that duplicates the printed version but sometimes contains additional material.”

“It cannot be the function of a textbook collection to be a kind of microformal university library.”

“Holdings include 75,000 documents in medical socioeconomics (the SEAM data base of world literature since 1962; updated monthly); a complete file of AMA serial publications in microformal and bound volumes;”

“Hydrolysis of the substrate was measured by a microformal titration, by using 0.05N sodium hydroxide, a manostat microtitrator, and a Beckman Zeromatic pH meter to determine the micromoles of acid liberated in a given time.”

“Assay of C1 esterase involves microformal titration of the acid liberated from ATEe (a stock concentration of 1.6 M in 2-methoxy-ethanol) during 15-min incubation at 37C according to the method of Levy and Lepow (11).”

“Microformal titration was carried out as described by Levy and Lepow (1959).”

“They act on oscillatory wave functions, whose algebra extends the algebra of formal power series in Planck's constant. In the classical limit, quantum microformal morphisms reproduce, as the main term of the asymptotic, the nonlinear pullbacks of functions with respect to `classical' microformal morphisms.”
