I don't think David meant the sort of backlight arrangement you use to scan
slides on a normal desktop scanner, I think he meant a proper 35mm slide
scanner. Now a 35mm slide is roughly 2-3 times the size of a microfiche
page (in both dimensions) but I think it might be worth a try if you could
actually get the fiche into it.
