My comment:

Según las investigaciones que hice, se trata de una marca (registrada), por lo que no se traduce. Me llama la atención que alguien haya mencionado "microficha". Cuidado. Microficha es MICROFILM. Fish es pez!

My comment:

it is a trade mark. the actual microfish is often translated as 'microficha', although a Microfish record is not exactly a 'micro fiche'.

My comment:

A microfish (Or Microfiche) is a projector like device used for finding books in libraries, a transparent sheet of plastic is placed on the glass tray and is projected onto the main screen by a light below it, the tray is moved around to find different information.
