X-ray Scanning

X-ray is not just for use in the medical field and is a widely used for non-invasive inspection of objects and materials. It works by emitting a controlled amount of electromagnetic radiation, which passes through the object being scanned. Different materials absorb X-rays to varying degrees, creating contrasts that can be captured by detectors to generate an image. Digitising of X-ray film enables long term storage without concern for the film degradation.

Microfilm and Microfiche Scanning

Microfilm and microfiche scanning are essential processes in preserving and digitising historical documents, newspapers, journals, and other materials stored in these formats. Microfilm is a roll of film containing microphotographs of documents, while microfiche is a flat sheet with multiple microimages.

Scanning these microfilms and microfiches converts them into digital formats, making the information easily accessible and searchable. This process involves using specialised scanners that capture high-quality images from the microforms. Once digitised, the files can be stored on computers or cloud storage systems, eliminating the need for physical storage space and enhancing data security.

By digitising your paper documents, you can enhance efficiency and accessibility within your organisation. Here are some key ways document scanning can achieve this:

• Digital Document Management: With digital files, you can easily organise, categorise, and search for specific documents, saving time and improving productivity.
