Meanings
- uncountablemacroscopic examination (with the naked eye)
Therefore, we and others have further optimized these protocols for ex-vivo scanning of human lung tissue to bridge the gap between radiology and histopathology, and thus between macroscopy and near-cellular resolution.

It is worth briefly recapitulating what we felt were the main reasons for this oversight because, given the continued paucity of discussions explicitly devoted to the role of macroscopy in paleopathology, it seems likely that they persist today. ¶ Compared with techniques for examining skeletal lesions such as microscopy or medical imaging, the notion that a paleopathologist identifies and records the lesions seen with the naked eye seems so commonplace and obvious that we may not think of it as a “technique” at all.
