A lot, but almost certainly not all.

For microfiche, 1200dpi is NOT high resolution.

If we assume that each frame represents an 8.5x11 page, . . .
if the frame were an inch wide, that would be 1200 pixels for the width of 
the page, or the eguivalent of about 150dpi
Half inch frames would be the equivalent of 75dpi.

Better than nothing, but far from ideal.
