microinjection : Il n'est pas recommandé de souder le préfixe micro- à un nom qui commence par la voyelle «i» en raison de la prononciation «oin» (dans ce cas) qu'engendre cette agglutination. La graphie «micro-injection» est préférable, et c'est celle qu'on retrouve dans les dictionnaires de langue générale. 4, record 2, French, - micro%2Dinjection
