Abstract: This invention relates to a microfilm-enlarging apparatus comprising means adapted to provide a source of light to expose photosensitive material through a microfilm to be enlarged, sensing means adapted to sense the intensity of the light transmitted, in use of the apparatus, by the entire area of the microfilm to be enlarged substantially only within a wavelength range of from 360 to 560 nm, and control means adapted to control the total amount of light to which the photosensitive material is exposed in an enlargement step in dependence upon the value of the intensity sensed by the sensing means.
