microscope
microscope meaning
A microscope. It stands for science, research and looking very closely at something. Figuratively it means scrutiny — being under the microscope, examined in detail and found wanting. That sense of uncomfortable examination is common, and it is almost never a compliment: being under the microscope is a thing that happens to you.
