  14. Now if you want a current model SCSI scanner that
could scan microfiche,
 I suggest a mammography film scanner.  High resolution and relatively
 speedy, however high cost. The shape of the little microcalcifications in a
 mammogram are very hard to see with anything less than 10 micron spot size
 scanner.  The images are about 5K X 5K over a 8 X 10 inch area. 
Not enough resolution.  We need about 15K dpi.  I've found 12K dpi
drum scanners for about $50K; they might be marginally adequate.
