Toth,
certainly not directly with an ordinary scanner:
It's not possible to scan fiche directly (or so
I've been told/shown).
Even if you were using a true 1200dpi device, you would end up with less
than 30dpi after blowing up the image 1:42 back to it's original size.
Sure, that's not what we want.
But maybe there are devices or even companies specialized on scanning
microfiche? - How would you load this information into an electronic
archive on MO disks, for example?
Some years ago, a friend of mine managed to get a couple of frames
printed off these fiches, but the results weren't too good: poor
contrast was the main problem. If you'd scan these prints, the results
would certainly be unreadable.
