FILM SCANNERS
Our kits for the NIKON Scanners are the most sought after enhancement to these great machines. Experienced users say: once you see the brilliance of a fluid scan you never go back to dry scanning. |
The scanning software is most important: when reading the shadows and burning the
highlights calls for software with those capabilities. What is not in the scan is lost forever
and cannot be created in Photoshop. Fluid Immersion scanning's improvementes are
complemented by software. We endorse Silverfast Ai. because it is powerful and includes
multiple scans with auto registration. Best results from the Nikon 8000/9000 or any scanner
requires fluid immersion scanning and Silverfast Ai.

| FLUID SCAN YOUR FILM SCANNER TO ITS FULL POTENTIAL With the ScanScience system You just remove the cover in the regular holder and you are ready to start fluid scanning. You do not need a glass holder only the regular holder. This saves you hundreds of dollars. ScanScience has eliminated the need for these expensive contrivances to which it is gretaly superior. Film Scanners allow light to go through the film directly to the lens and the sensors without suffering degradation from image refracting glass. This inherent advantage of the film scanner is lost by film curvature which causes uneven focus. Also, dry scanning produces light scattering at the grain and loss of sharpness and colour saturation. To counter film curvature, glass carriers were proposed as a solution, but Newton rings made the 'solution' unworkable. Anti-Newton glass was then proposed but that came with some loss in image quality because anti newton (AN) glass is not perfectly clear glass nor is it a cure for problems inherent in dry scanning such as light scattering. The ScanScience system addresses these issues by achieving film flatness by fluid mounting the film to scanning glass in a non-refractive position. With the ScanScience system the troublesome issues of film curvature and Newton rings are banned and replaced by a superior optical system in which film is perfectly flat and yields the brilliance associated with fluid scanning. On a Nikon Coolscan 9000 a high resolution scan with ICE set to standard took 6.75 minutes. A fluid scan without ICE and the same settings took only 4 minutes. The fluid mount can be assembled in under 2 minutes. |

| WHAT CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT SCANSCIENCE |
| And This comment..... Only a few words to say that I made the mounting and scanned my first b/w negatives without problems ( I got some bubbles at the first mounts but with some practice it's not difficult to avoid them ) . Congratulations for this product. These new scans are stunning; it's close to wearing glasses and forget to put them on or not . Best regards, José. |

is appreciably smoother and as the film lies perfectly flat there are no focussing problems.
Big enlargements are now purely a matter of sharpness of the original. An unexpected
bonus is that with B/W negs the wetmounting fluid supplied by Scanscience seems to be
as effective as Nikon's Digital ICE is with colour. With colour emulsions sharpness is
improved as I no longer have to use ICE.
