Re: micro-opaque cards



If you have a 35mm camera and a REALLY good close-up lens, and if Ortho
type 3 film is still available for 35mm, it is possible to make your own
'microfilm'.  Develop it yourself and then put the film on any good
reader-printer and print the page.  This is a time consuming tedious
method, but it does work.
