Put Labels to biological objects preserved in alcohol

[Thomas Schlemmermeyer]

Hello,

Termites (Isoptera) and some other soft insects are usually stored in=20
70%, 80% or nearly 100% alcohol in biological collections.

There are several manners to give written labels to the samples:
One may write with ink or a pencil on different kind of papers.
There exists also the recommendation to use a laser printer to generate
the labels.=20
All these methods may lead to some problems on the long run.

I wonder wether there are some electronic methods to "back up" the
written labels.
Electronic labelling may allow as well direct processing of the label
information with data administrating software systems.
