Just curious, has anyone tried using a really good photo scanner (lots of
dpi) on microfiche, then enlarging the results?

Yes. Not so good but readable:

for example.

These were made at 3600 DPI on an Epson flatbed scanner with
transparency adapter built in, which I'm told has the better of the two
scanner elements (CCD?) but haven't verified. It's readable but not by
much.
