One exhibit will focus on microdots which are photographed documents reduced to a size less than 1 millimetre. |

Areas where the glue was applied show up under ultraviolet light, and police can read the microdots using a hand-held illuminated magnifier. |
|
There's new technology to identify parts, called VIN microdots. |
|
Instead of arranging dots in a grid, FM clusters the microdots depending on the density or tonal value of the image. |
|
These unique microdots come in a variety of formats to address most asset identification requirements. |
|
But the movie itself is sort of like Wizard of Oz and Donnie Darko and a couple of purple microdots of mescaline all mixed together in a bowl of Lucky Charms. |
|
More than 10,000 microdots, each engraved with the vehicle identification number, would be sprayed on all major parts of a vehicle using the Datadot system. |
|
Besides the microdots, each batch also contains a unique combination of up to 30 compounds of rare-earth metals. |

Examples of these items include bottles of champagne found in the hideout of the Great Train Robbers, or talcum powder tins used by Soviet spies to hide microdots. |
|
The adhesive also contains celluloid microdots the size of sand grains that have been imprinted with SmartWater's phone number and a code identifying the metal's owner. |
|
Others have revisited FM screening technology which had been cast aside because of the difficulty holding the smallest microdots from the film to plate transfer. |
|
Computers are stuffed with data that can be copied and beamed around the world in seconds—so much easier than fiddling with microdots or smuggling sensitive documents past guards. |
|
The technology consists of thousands of polyester substrate microdots, each the size of a grain of sand, onto which unique information is laser etched. |
