microphotographs
Minuscule photographic reproductions
Microphotographs are photographs reduced to extremely small size, often requiring magnification to view.
The term also applies to photographs taken through a microscope, showing magnified subjects.
Context usually clarifies which meaning applies: spy agencies historically used microphotographs to conceal documents, while scientists produce microphotographs of cells and microorganisms.
