For some REALY small drill bits go to a welding supply store , ask for a tip drill set , a whole selection of small drill bits with a pin vice to hold them , not that expenceve ( -$20. i think ) .

I wounder what would happen if you made different colored celuloid filters , you could experament to see what works bets .
Zippy,
I've always wanted to do that to a scanner, I lack the real motivation to follow it through. I know I'd get about as far as gaffer taping things together, and then dragging my desk closer to the window...

Thanks for the tip drill tip. I was just about a block away from a welding supply store the other day and I spaced it.

Filters wouldn't do much since the emulsion is essentially B&W. Or Brown, orange and white. The color is introduced in photoshop. Actually it is hard to decide on a color. They all look cool.
