Launched in 1992, the discs were designed to hold nearly 100 high quality images, scanned prints and slides using special proprietary encoding.

The use of hydrofluoric acid (HF) to digest silicate minerals was introduced by Assarson and Granlund in 1924, greatly reducing the amount of time required to scan slides for palynomorphs.

LM observation can be carried out rapidly and can be used to scan slides and select good cells for further analysis in the EM.

If you're scanning slides, you'll need to get a model that can handle transparencies.

However, Ardenne had not developed a camera tube, using the CRT instead as a flying-spot scanner to scan slides and film.

Many flatbed scanners can scan slides, negatives and other transparencies in addition to prints.

Major scanner manufacturers like Hewlett-Packard and Canon typically have models for $100 to $200 that can scan slides.

These scanners generally let you scan several slides or negatives at once, and many can be used with roll or sheet film larger than 35 millimeters.

Ardenne never develops a camera tube, using the CRT instead as a flying-spot scanner to scan slides and film.

For example, it can't print directly onto blank CDs, scan slides or connect to a network.
