Subject: scanning from microfilm

I would be grateful if anyone could advise whether it is possible to scan a
text directly from microfilm, rather than copying the microfilm onto paper
and scanning from this.

A colleague wishes to scan and edit a late 18th-century text. He has a
microfilm of the original and would like to use scanning and OCR with
optimum results.

Was very useful. Thank you!

Please, where precisely?

In which of his works?

Thank you, very much.
