This pair highlights what it took to do something with film that is easier now with digital photography. Researchers came to our lab in 1982 with 14 4x5 Polaroid negatives shot through a microscope of a mouse's tongue. They had put together a composite print from the positives, but the densities were all over the place, and it wouldn't be good enough for publication, so they wanted a better version made. I did it using RC paper and our Kodak RoyalPrint processor. I had to start at the bottom, and then work my way up the tongue negatives, matching the overlapping edges as much as possible. The RC paper allowed me to check he matches right away and make any adjustments. It took two work days to finish.
