Digitize 16mm Microfilm

16mm microfilm measures about 5/8” wide (.630” wide to be more exact). It is the standard size microfilm for letter and legal size papers.  Usually a company or government agency would convert paper to microfilm using a rotary or planetary microfilming machine.  The microfilming machine contains a camera and lenses to reduce the image usually 24X. The microfilm is processed, developed and rolled onto 100 foot or 215 foot rolls.
 

To scan and digitize the microfilm we insert the roll into a microfilm scanner and set up program to scan the appropriate images.  Typically a full 16mm x 100 foot roll will contain about 2000-2000 letter size images.  A 16mm x 215 feet roll will contain 4000-4300 letter size images .

We convert the microfilm to Adobe PDF format or Group 4 TIFF (tagged image file format).   Most conversion jobs result in 1 multi-page pdf or tiff file per fiche, although we can index the microfilm to meet your needs. .

Optional OCR, optical character recognition, and CD/DVD encryption is available  for sensitive and confidential information. 

For immediate access to your images from any where in world, we offer a secure online image repository called WebView EZ.  We are a service bureau with Federal, State and Local government experience.
