microreader
Miniaturized text magnifier
A microreader is a device for viewing microfilm or microfiche—media that store documents as miniaturized photographic images.
The reader magnifies and projects the images onto a screen for reading.
Once common in libraries and archives, microreaders have largely been displaced by digital scanning and online databases.
