16mm microfilm usually contains photographs of documents A4/A3 sized. It can however contain other smaller material such as cheques and notes.
DocuSense is able to convert your 16mm microfilm reels or cartridges to a digital format. We use an optical enlargement technique during the digitisation process to enlarge the microfilm image back to it’s original document size for maximum clarity rather than directly scanning the microfilm.
Even if your microfilm doesn’t look like our examples, our equipment and operatives are flexible and can capture most things. So if you have any questions, you can message us using the form on the home or contact pages.
