Do you Have Source or COM Microfiche / Microfilm?

Look at the images on the Fiche/Film


Source images are higher than they are wide.	COM images are wider than they are high.

Below is a Lens Chart that will help you determine the proper magnification lens you need to view your Microfiche.

Count how many images are going across one row of your fiche, then how many going down one column, use a fiche that is full of images with no empty spaces. See the chart below to find your required lens size. If no match, click lens finder template below.
