I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'microfilm' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'revolutionary provided with guevara's' is the wordplay.
'revolutionary' says the letters should be written in reverse (letters revolve around).
'provided' becomes 'if' (eg 'provided it's sunny' means 'if it's sunny').
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'guevara' becomes 'che' (revolutionary Che Guevara).
'if' reversed gives 'fi'.
'fi'+'che'='FICHE'
