FH-869G Glass-Covered Holder for Medium-Format Film

The FH-869G is used to scan medium-format fi lm (120/220, 2¼ or Brownie) and 59 × 82 mm
electron-microscope fi lm. The length of the fi lm strip that can be scanned depends on the
type of fi lm:
• 6 × 4.5: 1–4 frames

• 6 × 6: 1–3 frames

• 6 Ч 7 – 6 Ч 9: 1–2 frames

Newton’s Rings

If the fi lm is folded or twisted, Newton’s
rings (a radial interference pattern) may
appear when the fi lm is scanned. This
can be prevented by placing a masking
sheet in the holder as shown at right.
The aperture at the front of the masking
sheet should match the fi lm frame size.

Place stickers between frames on the
emulsion surface of the fi lm (no sticker is
required between the fi rst two frames).
The stickers can then be used to fasten
the fi lm to the masking sheet. Stickers
can be reused.
