Mikropiirintä

Mikropiirintä, also known as micro-engraving or microscopic printing, is a technique used to create extremely small text or images that are typically invisible to the naked eye. This specialized printing method relies on advanced technology and precision to produce designs at a scale measured in micrometers. The process often involves photolithography or other advanced imaging techniques that allow for the transfer of digital designs onto a substrate at a microscopic level.

The primary applications of mikropiirintä are found in security features for currency, passports, and other sensitive documents. The minuscule size and intricate detail make these markings exceptionally difficult to counterfeit, providing a robust layer of authentication. Beyond security, mikropiirintä can also be used in microelectronics for creating intricate patterns on semiconductor chips or in scientific research for fabricating microscopic components. The development of mikropiirintä has been driven by the increasing need for miniaturization and enhanced security measures in various industries.
