Micro-correction to the nuclear macroscopic model

The micro-correction to the nuclear macroscopic model is studied with a simple liquid drop model by fitting the nuclear masses. It is found that the micro-correction given by Moeller and Nix is generally applicable with satisfactory results. Possible regions for improvement are indicated. Sampling calculations indicate that their corrections are also applicable to the continuous medium model proposed by the authors. For nuclear ground state, it is suggested that simplified method of micro-correction calculation may give similar results
