Scanning, and 3.5 Dmax
With its 5,300-element CCD, the ArtixScan
4000tf reaches resolutions of up to 4000
pixels per inch, allowing professional users
to work with small portions of an image
for amplification at great sharpness and
clarity without sacrificing any detail.
Dual Interface – FireWire & USB
Microtek implemented the blazing data
transfer solution via FireWire interface that
the AS4000tf delivers a completed scan of a
35mm slide in full 4000-dpi color in less than 50
seconds. Besides, the scanner is equipped with
the industry-standard and widely used USB port
for compatibility with USB-equipped PC and Mac
on the market today. And because both FireWire
and USB interfaces allow true "plug-n-play", the
AS4000tf is easy to operate.
Superior Quality with Innovative
Scanning Technology
Auto Focus System
The Auto Focus/Auto Advance carriage system. (US patent
pending), another exceptional technology implemented on
the AS4000tf, adjusts the scanner carriage and film holders
(instead of the lens position) to automatically achieve the
most accurate focus.

Multiple Sampling
Technology
Multiple Sampling reduces the
random image noise that
adversely affects the quality of
scanned images. To optimize
signals, each scanned line is
sampled multiple times (the frequency
determined by users in 2, 4, or 8 options).
Motion Correction Control
Motion Correction Control (US patent pending), was
developed by Microtek to address problems with scanner
motor deviation arising over the course of the scanner's life.
Through Motion Correction Control, the scanning module
can thus move smoothly and precisely during the scanning
process, registering mechanical steps with ultra-fine
precision for superior, accurate scans.
