"I have a standard axiom: all governments lie. Don't believe anything they say. And corporations are only kinds of government."
- Frank Herbert

Micro Label  
  A serial number or logo so small it can only be seen under extreme magnification.  

Deckard finds a small object that looks like a fish scale. He takes it to a street expert; under high magnification, she reveals that it is really a manufactured object with a serial number.


(Micro label from Blade Runner)

"I think it was manufactured... Finest quality. Superior workmanship..."

Technovelgy from Blade Runner, by Ridley Scott.
