Abstract

Scanning electron microscopy with simultaneous energy dispersive x-ray analysis was used to characterize microdots to assess their suitability for the identification and tracking of artifacts. They were found comparable to commercial state-of-the-art microfilm and microfiche which are known to be durable for about 20 years without postprocessing treatment to stabilize them.
