microreaders
Miniature document viewers
Microreaders are devices used to view microfilm or microfiche—documents photographically reduced to a fraction of their original size.
Libraries and archives relied on microreaders before digital scanning became standard: She scrolled through old newspaper archives on the microreader.
The term occasionally applies to any device for reading extremely small text or data.
