In my experience, "microfiche" is multiple images on a single
film sheet, as I remember about 4 by 7 inches, read by moving the sheet
from image to image in the viewer. The OED has the same memory,
except perhaps for size: "A flat piece of film, usually the
size of a standard index card, containing microphotographs of the pages
of a book, periodical, catalogue, etc." <br><br>
"Microfilm" is what rolls on tape.<br><br>
