Abstract. We propose a parameterized proxy principle from which $\kappa$-Souslin trees with various additional features can be constructed, regardless of the identity of $\kappa$.
We then introduce the microscopic approach, which is a simple method for deriving trees from instances of the proxy principle. As a demonstration, we give a construction of a uniformly coherent $\kappa$-Souslin tree that applies also for $\kappa$ inaccessible.
We then carry out a systematic study of the consistency of instances of the proxy principle, distinguished by the vector of parameters serving as its input. Among other things, it will be shown that all known $\diamondsuit$-based constructions of $\kappa$-Souslin trees may be redirected through this new proxy principle.
