Very nice! What are the physical dimensions of each page on the
actual microfiche? Also what resolution did you scan at?
The scanner would be used for more than just microfiche, which makes
the 8x10 capability desirable.

The physical dimensions on the fiche was such that there were 14 8 x 10
sheets across a fiche. I don't have
the fiche around to look at and measure.
remember 8 x 10 transparentcy is a huge amount of data at high
resolution. most film negatives
are no where near that big.
I bought the scanner I have to scan 5 x 7 glass photo negatives from the
1800's that are
in my family, and that is the largest format I have. I only ever used
and could afford
4 x 5 negative film when i was shooting anything larger than 220 roll
film, so I have
very little larger than that.
the scanner will handle legal size, I think but not photo transparencies
that large.
What I meant to say earlier was the the scans when I finished had the
same bit dimension
as if one had scanned 8.5 x 11 sheets of paper, black and white at 200
dpi (IIRC).
