Abstract |
This literature review discusses microfilm readers and reading. There has been a rapid development of systems, applications, job routines, viewing apparatus, index systems, film format, etc. There is a need for standardisation, especially in workplace layout, design of viewers and microimage quality. The reading of the images is often performed under conditions that are significantly different from those related to reading printed documents, e.g. viewing time, line of sight, viewing distance, luminance ratios, and focus. Operator complaints and demands include eye fatigue, shortened working hours, regular eye checkups, and free working spectacles. |
