A simple, accurate method for reproducing details of histological sections using a microfiche printer.
A rapid, inexpensive method is described for achieving accurate reproduction of histological sections. The method uses a microfiche reader-printer (for library use) which produces A4 size prints. Interchangeable lenses on the microfiche printer permit the magnification of the section to be varied over the range 6.6-72 times. Where large numbers of sections are involved the speed and low cost of the method offers considerable advantages over traditional hand tracing or photomicrography.
