I was away today. Its amazing how many posts it
took to get a reasonable estimate for the dpi ;}
Two hacks I'd use if I had to do this today would be to
use a slide projector and digital camera to photograph
the projection. Same for a good quality fiche viewer.
Hack 2 is to merge a low power microscope with a digital
camera.
A more reasonable approach would be too intern for
Al.K. to get his scanner going.
