Generally, there seems little point in investing in more expensive microfilm equipment.
The more cost effective and efficient solution is to invest in converting the microfilm to a digital format that can be easily searched, viewed, distributed and printed using existing PC's.

At Branca, we specialize in the scanning of most microfilm formats, including 16/35mm roll film, 16/35mm microfiche, 105mm/70mm microfilm and aperture cards. Typically 2,500 (A0) aperture cards can be scanned and stored on just one CD ROM. Smaller formats (A4 16mm microfilm) can achieve 20,000 images per CD. Once the film scanning is complete, scans and index information can be returned on CD ROM complete with search, view and print software which can be easily configured for network access as well as local CD based access and the original film can be returned.

Alternatively, scanned images can be returned via hard media or FTP, for immediate download to existing databases or software systems.
