[NHCOLL-L:3052] Tiny Barcodes

[James Macklin]

Hello All,

I am curious if anyone is successfully using small barcodes to manage
specimens in a collection. I am specifically interested in barcoding
diatom slides. The dimensions we must fit are approximately 2 cm by 1
cm. I should mention that we have successfully used barcodes this size
in the past for slides but we became concerned about the adhesive used
and the code standard being used. The standard issue was highlighted
when we recently switched barcode readers and the new reader could not
scan the code.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

James
