The only way I know of to process Scala film is to use film mailers. 
I know you can get them from the big mail order photo stores like B &
H and Adorama.  Prices run about $8 US for the mailers.

While I've never done it, the only way I know of to make slides of
your prints is to use a copy stand.  Ideally you would use a normal
lens, mount the camera on the copy stand's camera bracket and put the
print on the baseboard.  Most copy stands come with multiple lights
that allow you to light the baseboard evenly.  A quick check of B & H
shows inexpensive copy stands at around $100 or so.

Maybe others in the forum who've done this kind of work can add more info.
