Re: [Digital BW] wet mount scanning

2005-05-10 by dfaprinting

To me the kit sounds like some kind of fluid (of course), and after 
that I'm not sure. These scanners seem to want to focus film about 1mm 
off the glass, so do you just get some 1mm thick anti-Newton glass and 
some kind of fluid to stick the slide to the A.N. glass? (anti-Newton 
side goes down toward scanner glass???)

The only thing I found while searching for answers was that removing 
the glass from your scanner had a very slight effect on the resulting 
scan. Not really enough to bother, and it wasn't in reference to wet 
mounting either.
