NFC tags can be stickers or wristbands but are now becoming a standard technology in mobile phones. Android phones like the Samsung Galaxy S3/S4/S5 have NFC and now the new Apple iPhone 6 also comes with NFC. They serve many purposes like making payments, data transfers (files, images) and are can even be used to trigger events.
I purchased some NFC tags from ebay so I could use for testing and decided to put them under a microscope and zoom in at 10x and 230x.
Here’s a photo of the tags:
