Nope not out of the loop, I've been looking too. The information is 
just not there. Even google didn't turn up much for wet mounting of 
photographic slides, or my keywords were incredibly bad. Found a lot of 
hits on wetmounted specimen slides for use with a microscope. I'm sure 
the keywords I used were bad, but how bad can it be " wet mount 
photographic slide" or "wet mount photo slide", etc. What I didn't try 
was "wetmount" as one word. The scanmax literature makes wet mounting 
sound like the second coming of slide scanning ---> reduced grain, 
improved dmax, no scratches, etc.
