The SUPER COOLSCAN 9000 ED’s multi-format capability is
specifically designed for imaging professionals. Scanning is
possible for 120/220, 35mm, 6 x 7, 6 x 9, 16mm, electron
microscope and other film formats. The
9000 ED’s large-diameter Scanner Nikkor

Specifications
With 4,000 dpi optical resolution and 16-bit A/D conversion, astoundingly vivid
images are produced. For example, using 8,946 x 8,946-pixel image data in a 6 x 6
format, over 65,000 steps per color (RGB) are at the 9000 ED’s disposal. The LED
light source is also specially designed for multi-format scanning, with LEDs for
each color (RGB plus IR) using dispersed rod illumination (see illustration). The
result is a smoother reproduction of picture grain and more accurate reading and
rendering of every color.
Crisp, vivid, color-true images
The SUPER COOLSCAN 9000 ED with Nikon Scan 4 provides you with compre-
hensive digital darkroom capability. Enhanced LED illumination has enabled the
incorporation of Digital ICE Professional™, which is effective with Kodachrome
film. With only a few pre-scan adjustments, you can achieve high-quality images
that remain faithful to the original color composition — something other image-
control applications struggle with. Nikon’s Color Management System (CMS) also
ensures that every shade and hue can be accurately reproduced in nearly all oper-
ating environments.
Expert image control features
A Breakthrough in Professional Multi-Format Film Scanning
ED lens, 3-line CCD image sensor and LED light source with
rod dispersion have all been improved for enhanced image
quality with faster scanning speeds. These premium fea-
tures give you the leading edge in profes-
sional desktop imaging.

The SUPER COOLSCAN 9000 ED scans a variety
of film formats, including medium format
(120/220), 35mm (135) format, 16mm, electron
microscope and preparates (glass slides for a micro-
scope). To reproduce the high definition of medium-
format films, the 9000 ED boasts special optics and a
new 3-line CCD image sensor. The Scanner Nikkor ED
lens has a larger, specially designed diameter which ensures high-resolution read-
ing of medium-format film while delivering unparalleled optical purity to the CCD.
