In the decade since Nikon unveiled the first COOLSCAN film scanner, we have accumulated considerable expertise and applied it to the development of exclusive, cutting-edge technologies. [. . . ] Superior scans through Nikon's image control By using image control features such as Unsharp Mask, Tone Curve and LCH editor during the scanning process, you are virtually guaranteed images of higher quality than would result from post-scan adjustments made using other image control software. Multi-sample scanning for rich, noise-free images The multi-sample scanning feature exposes details in the darker portions of photos while eliminating nearly all noise that can appear in those areas after only one scan. By making as many as 16 passes, multi-sample scanning -- only available with the SUPER COOLSCAN 9000 ED and 5000 ED -- helps ensure faithful reproduction with smoother gradation. Quality scans made easy Even first-time scanner users will be astonished at how simple quality film scanning can be. Nikon Scan 4 features an intuitive GUI (Graphical User Interface) that allows you to quickly and easily preview images and even make necessary adjustments before scanning. Easy Scanning Guide Nikon COOLSCAN and SUPER COOLSCAN film scanners come with an Easy Scanning Guide CD-ROM which features a FlashTM animated explanation of the setup and operation of your new scanner. It also advises you on the quickest way to scan images based on the film type, the desired quality and the application. Digital ICETM (Image Correction & Enhancement) Digital ICETM works in tandem with Nikon's special LED illumination to remove surface defects like dust and scratches from a scanned image without altering the underlying composition, details or any other elements of the original image. Digital ICE ProfessionalTM The 9000 ED features Digital ICE ProfessionalTM which is an advanced version of Digital ICETM and compatible with Kodachrome film. This new feature helps reveal details that are sometimes lost in shadows and highlights. And Nikon View's browser allows you to easily view, edit and print image files that have been saved to your computer's hard disk. After calculating the amount of color shift, it then instantly rebuilds and restores the deteriorated color values automatically. The resulting images are sharp, clear and devoid of grain clumping or graininess. Digital ICETM is compatible with both color film and color process monochrome film, but is not recommended for use with monochrome film. ⷠWith the 5000 or V ED, when Digital ICETM is applied to Kodachrome film, blurred images or localized loss of detail may occasionally occur, depending on the film used. ⷠWith the 9000 ED, when using Digital DEETM to scan medium-format film in a Windows® operating environment, "Crop" palette settings must be adjusted so that the file size is 169MB or less. 35mm film strips 2 ­ 6 frames; strips of 1 ­ 6 frames can be scanned with optional STRIP FILM HOLDER FH-3 APS (IX240) film Cartridges of 15, 25, and 40 frames can be scanned with optional IX240 FILM ADAPTER IA-20(S) Preparates (slide glass for microscope) Prepared slides (26 x 76mm, 0. 5mm thick) can be scanned with optional MEDICAL SLIDE HOLDER FH-G1 Aperture/Scan range/Effective aperture MA-21 25. E-mailing images to friends and family, web page design or digital archiving -- interested in doing any of these things better and faster?Look no further than the COOLSCAN V ED desktop film scanner. Designed to be easy enough for first-time scanner users to operate smoothly, it provides features and image quality previously found only in more expensive scanners. Factor in a selection of accessories that allows you to scan film of different types, and the result is a cost-effective, user-friendly, high-quality digital imaging tool.

For example, using 8, 946 x 8, 946-pixel image data in a 6 x 6 format, over 65, 000 steps per color (RGB) are at the 9000 ED's disposal. The LED light source is also specially designed for multi-format scanning, with LEDs for each color (RGB plus IR) using dispersed rod illumination (see illustration). The result is a smoother reproduction of picture grain and more accurate reading and rendering of every color. [. . . ]
