Default Microfilm into wall size poster please??

Litho film as an interneg will give you a hard edge at boundaries, so it
will "sharpen" text and halftone images, but it might not work well if you
have continuous tone.

Just get as high as possible resolution drum scan of the original film.
Internegs, microscopes, etc will only degrade the final image.

You'll either have to scan the microfilm at a very high resolution or
make an inter-negative.

Ideally you can find someone with an old 35mm camera hooked to a
microscope. You could then shoot an inter-neg using ortho film and
get a pretty good image off of it.
