A professor here is traveling to India this summer and needs to "record" some images of ancient Sanskrit text to bring back to the University to translate. He needs to be able to enlarge this images to a readable size, yet maintain a "clearness" of image so that the characters are discernable. Preferably, he would transfer the images to a computer format so that he could translate them on screen.Does anyone have any experience with this type of project? We need to suggest necessary equipment, so that he can determine how it will fit into his grant money. Best case scenario, is it possible to purchase some type of lens for a standard 35mm camera to shoot clear images of the text and make either prints or slides, or PhotoCD that are readable? (We were thinking low budget here)
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
