Some may have read my previous articles in Microscopy Today and know that I am a strong proponent of digital imaging for photomicrographs and photomacrographs. I require that the digital images match the resolution and field size of traditional film images, with the 4X5 Polaroid film most commonly used in metallurgical laboratories where I worked before early retirement. My development of an affordable universal student microscope for home microscopy resulted in a need for color digital images that would meet my requirements at an affordable cost. This need was met by recording on 35 mm film with subsequent scanning of selected film images to a Kodak Master Photo CD. More recently I purchased a CanoScan FS2710 film scanner for digitizing my family's collection of slides and negatives for saving on CD's.
