Where to buy
ArtixScan 2500  
This superior 36-bit flatbed scanner has two scanning beds, one for photos and one for film, and uses Microtek's own patented Emulsion Direct Imaging Technology for incredibly sharp transparency scanning. With E.D.I.T., there is no glass between the scanning lens, film, or light source, eliminating distortion and Newton rings, which can occur with traditional transparency adapters. A 10,000-element CCD ensures high-resolution clarity at an optical resolution of 1,250 dpi (entire scan bed) and 2,500 dpi (high-resolution area), and up to 3.4 Dmax.

Features and Benefits
 
Microtek Scanner Profiler (MSP) Consists of a 4"x5" Kodak Q-60 reflective color target, a 4"x5" Kodak Q-60 transparency color target, and calibration software for maintaining consistent color quality in any work environment.
E.D.I.T. Technology Emulsion Direct Imaging Technology ensures distortion-free image quality for film scanning, since there is no glass between the scanner lens and film emulsion.
SnapTrans Templates Template trays are provided for scanning 35mm mounted slildes, 35mm filmstrips, 2-1/4" and 4"x5" film. A glass plate allows for scanning 8"x10" or odd-sized transparencies.
ScanWizard Pro 6 software Allows for direct CMYK, LAB, high-bit RGB (for full 36-bit image data to Adobe Photoshop), 24-bit RGB, Web Color, and Indexed Color scanning. Provides a multitude of pre-scan adjustment tools, including downloadable gamma curves, dynamic range control, user-definable white and black point control, customizable descreening, LCH color space, selective color control, and much more.
3D Anti-Vibration System Patented system prevents and minimizes the impact vibration and shocks due to the external environment to ensure the best possible scanned image quality.
Fan-cooled CCD Especially designed and installed for the ArtixScan 2500 to optimize the sensitivity of the CCD. This fan-cooling system maintains the CCD at its optimum temperature and results in top-quality images with maximum detail everywhere.
10,000-element CCD Produces superb quality transparent and reflective scans at up to 2,500 dpi true optical resolution. This helps users enlarge a 35m slide up to more than A3 format (11"x17") for printing in high-quality offset.
