- Microform - Wikipedia
A microform is a scaled-down reproduction of a document, typically either photographic film or paper, made for the purposes of transmission, storage, reading, and printing Microform images are commonly reduced to about 4% or of the original document in diameter and more than 500X in size
- What is Microfilm? Understanding Its Uses and Benefits
Microfilm is a photographic film containing microphotographs of documents, newspapers, books, and other materials Typically, these microphotographs are reduced in size to fit onto a small strip of film, often measuring just 16mm or 35mm in width
- A brief history of preservation: microfiche and microfilm
Microfiche or microfilm? Let’s start by clearing this one up with some definitions: both microfiche and microfilm are types of microform, storing photographic images of documentation too small to be visible to the human eye The difference is in their format
- Microfiche vs. Microfilm: What is the Difference? - SecureScan
Microfiche is a flat, rectangular sheet, making it easy to store and quickly access individual documents Microfilm is a continuous reel, which can hold thousands of documents but requires winding through the reel to find specific items, making it less convenient for frequent access
- Microfilm | Britannica

- 6. 1 Microfilm and Microfiche — NEDCC
Microfilm is a high grain (larger silver particle size) film and comes in both high contrast and continuous tone In general, microfilm or microforms scanned at a minimum of 400 ppi and 8-bit grayscale will give good results
- What is Microfilm?
Microfilming, also called microphotography, consists in the reduction of images to such a small size that they cannot be read without optical assistance This amazing photographic compression often results in a ninety-nine percent saving of space
