Do a search for Kodalith and you should find lots about high contrast printing. Basically, it's a process of projecting your slide or negative on Kodalith and developing in a high contrast developer, repeated until all detail you want gone is gone. Don't attempt to do it in-camera with Tech Pan -- Too iffy.
