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.
