MPS digital imaging service is our area of fastest growth. We are continually striving to meet this ever-increasing demand. Bring us your files on floppy disc or ZIP.

In addition, we are able to provide assistance with your departmental needs, such as help with PowerPoint, film recorder problems, digital equipment purchases, and the like.

 


STEPS IN DIGITAL IMAGING

Acquisition: Converting a visual field into a digital file

Our 35-mm film scanner accepts slides (mounted or cut) and negatives.
Our Nikon digital camera can be used to record events, to take portraits, to photograph gels, specimens, procedures, or techniques, and also for flatwork on the copy stand.
We can acquire images from videotape with our frame grabber system.

Processing: Altering the original digital image so that the output will
be significantly different from the acquired visual

Our graphics department can make the most of your images. We can enhance color, emphasize areas, add text, create composites, and many other such improvements. 
Image manipulation is an area in which the greatest strides have been made since the advent of digital processes. (Go to our Graphics page for more information.)

Output: Saving image files on removable media, or generating hardcopy images from these files

Digital: We can output to floppies or ZIPs (ours or yours), or to CDs, as presentations or other file formats.
Slides: Our Polaroid Digital Palette can convert files to slides.
Prints: Our Kodak dye-sublimation printer produces excellent
publication-quality prints in color or black and white, up to 8 x 11",
on 8.5 x 12" paper.
