Ultrafiche is an amazingly dense version of microfiche. The images are so small that they might be the size of some small fonts (8-10 size font is probably close). We had an ultrafiche project proposed, and soon realized that none of our equipment could do it. Because the images are so small, you need something that can scan at a much greater DPI, or zoom in closer than most equipment will do. However, it’s not impossible. There are two pieces of equipment that claim they can do Ultrafiche. I haven’t seen them work in person, but I might be looking into it in the future. Here’s the links to the two machines for further reading:
