The ImageMouse glides horizontally and vertically over the base to digitize and display the image instantly on the PC. You can enlarge, mirror, rotate, crop and reverse the image polarity and save the image, which can then be printed or forwarded as an e-mail attachment. Both 16mm and 35 mm film may be viewed at slow or fast forward speed; you can quickly locate images from film with a simple point and click. This system is wonderful for viewing census microfilm or any other type of source document application on microfiche or -film.
