'''Microcosmic salt''' (see infobox for systematic names) is a salt found in ] with the formula Na(NH<sub>4</sub>)HPO<sub>4</sub>. It is left behind in the residues after extracting the ] from dried ] crystals with alcohol. In the mineral form, microcosmic salt is called ].


Its name was coined in Latin (''sal microcosmicum'') by ] in the 16th century, but it was also referenced by ] in the late Middle Ages; another alchemical name for it was ''sal urinae fixum'' (as opposed to '']'').<ref>{{Cite book |last=Mellor |first=Joseph William |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=8w1GAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA874 |title=Supplement to Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry: suppl. 3.

Microcosmic salt is used in the laboratory as an essential ingredient of the ] for identification of metallic radicles on the basis of the color they produce in ] or ] flame, in hot or cold condition.
