(Davies.) micella (mi-sel'ä), n.; pl. micellæ (-ē). [NL., dim. of L. mica, a crumb, grain: see mical.] One of the hypothetical crystalloid bodies or plates supposed by Nägel i to be the units out of which organized bodies, more particularly plants, are built up. These micellæ were supposed to be aggregates of larger or smaller numbers of chemical molecules, and were determined by the optical properties exhibited by cell-walls, starch-grains, and various proteid crystalloids. From their optical properties it was concluded further that they were biaxial crystals, and they were a igned, as a probable form, that of par allele pipe dal prisms with rectangular or rhomboid bases. Crystalline doubly refracting particles or micellæ , each consisting of numerous atoms and impermeable by water. Encyc. Brit ., XII. 12.
