I'm probably WAY over simplifying this because I don't have a grasp of the optics involved, but wouldn't it be possible to get a good image of individual pages on a microfiche by using a DSLR with the right lens and a CNC X/Y table made from one of the large (8x10) LED illuminators used to treat SAD? The lights are pretty bright and are under $50. The X/Y table build would be very simple and cheap to build. The only "real" expense would be the right lens on the camera.

Yep. That is what I was thinking originally. I wasn't against the idea of projecting the slide to a surface then capturing that.

I wasn't thinking about projecting it, I was referring to direct imaging using a macro(?) lens on the camera.
