English term or phrase: be under the microscope (fig.)

"Journalists are there to observe, to explain and to hold companies accountable for their actions and performance. Companies today are under the microscope, so to speak. They are judged quickly, and sometimes in a wrong way. That's why media training is important for spokesmen."

Si tratta di un'intervista, quindi il linguaggio può essere colloquiale. È nell'aria qualche bella soluzione, che però non riesco ad acciuffare... Non bisogna per forza usare il microscopio, vi viene in mente qualcosa? Grazie!
