FH-3 Film Holder

The FH-3 allows strips of 35-mm film up to six frames in length to be scanned in the MA- 21 slide-mount adapter. The FH-3 can be used to scan film that can not be scanned in the SA-21, either because it is only one frame long or because it has excessive curl or damaged perforations ( 58).

“Film Base”/”Emulsion Surface”

When film is examined under bright light, the image on the emulsion surface will be in slight relief, with bumps and hollows where the image has been developed. The opposite surface (the film base) will be reflective and smooth. Place the film in the holder base up.
