The Scanning FAQ - Resolution Calculator
Author's Note: This site is an archive of content originally published on the Internet by Jeff Bone at the University of Alabama at Birmingham between 1990-1994. It is maintained here as a tribute to that pioneering work and the date of attribution is given wherever possible. While some of the information is clearly more than 20 years old, much of it remains valuable insight into digital scanning today.
