You need a scanner that can scan film negatives. We have an epson flatbed at work that does, but there are others. You need to set up the scanner the same as you would to scan a black and white film negative, then it should all work. The better the scanner, the better the resolution you'll have. Depending on the microfiche size (ours at work are fairly small), maybe even a dedicated (film) negative scanner would work.
