35mm microfilm usually contains photographs of engineering or architects drawings and plans, it can however contain other material such as books or documents.

DocuSense is able to convert your 35mm microfilm reels 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.
