The GIS Lab Slide Scanner

Super CoolScan 4000 ED

You can sign up to use the GIS Lab's (355 Bloedel) Slide Scanner to make digital images of all your slides. The 50 slide auto-stacker automates the scanning process and takes very little time to setup. Drop 50 slides in the scanner, set the resolution and output format and walk away! View the machine specs, the scanner brochure(pdf), or the scanning direction.

On-line Scanning Directions: The time you spend learning to use the scanner will make its way back to you, and the time we spent making the directions will hopefully come back to us.

The slide scanner was purchased by many cooperating units around the College of Forest Resources. Those who helped with the purchase may sign up to use the scanner anytime, other users will be accommodated when possible. Below are the contributing units who helped to purchase the scanner and the 50-slide feeder (in no particular order):

  • The Rural Technology Initiative
  • Management & Engineering Division
  • Peter Schiess - Forest Engineering
  • Leslie Wall - Center for Streamside Studies
  • Lynn Catlet - Ecosystem Sciences
  • Charlie Halpern - Forest Ecology
  • Bob Edmonds - Ecosystem Sciences
  • Tom Hinckley - Center for Urban Horticulture
  • Sarah Reichard - Center for Urban Horticulture

Major Features

  • 4,000-dpi true optical-resolution scanning, 14-bit A/D converter incorporating 16-/8-bit output for vivid images
  • Exclusive SCANNER NIKKOR ED high-resolution/high-performance lens (7 elements in 4 groups including 3 ED glass elements) for reduced color aberration and minimized image distortion
  • Newly developed custom CCD reduces image noise and provides clear resolution
  • Proprietary LED technology ensures consistently accurate color reproduction
  • Fast scanning at 4,000 dpi (approx. 38 sec. including image transfer to display)
  • New setup function for color negative film, featuring intelligent tone and color auto-correction, enables quality reproduction of orange-tinted negative film
  • Quick AF & Quick Preview
  • High-speed IEEE1394 interface (IEEE1394 board and cable included for users who do not have the interface)
  • Compatible with various film formats (35mm [135], IX240, etc.)
  • Slide-scanning capability of up to 50 slides (with optional SLIDE FEEDER SF-200[S] attached)
  • Roll film-scanning capability (with optional ROLL FILM ADAPTER SA-30 attached)
  • Multi-sample scanning (2/4/8/16 times; selectable) for images virtually free of noise
  • Improved Color Management System accuracy
  • Digital ICE3T automatic correction function
    1. Digital ICET (Image Correction & Enhancement) removes dust, scratches and finger prints from scanned images
      Digital ICET applies to color film and color process monochrome film, but is not recommended for use with Kodachrome film.
    2. Digital ROCT (Reconstruction of Color) restores faded images to true, brilliant color by determining ideal color tone for each image
    3. Digital GEMT (Grain Equalization & Management) equalizes image grain resulting in a smoother overall image
