Novel Ident: tiny lifeforms on planetoid that live at accelerated time rate


A book I once owned and read back in late-80's or early-90's that I have not been able to identify title & author for: It was a SF story concerning tiny native lifeforms, living on either a planetoid or possibly a dead/neutron star, that evolve at a seemingly accelerated time rate. Most of their story is told in the few days of observation (from orbit) by a human expedition to the planet, during which time-frame the race below progresses from stone-age tech level to being more advanced than the human observers, and eventually flying up to meet the humans in small advanced craft powered by micro-singularities... one of which accidentally 'disintegrates' the tip of a human scientist's nose in the process.
