Flatbed scanners have normally just selected white float glass 
in their scan bed. Selected means that it is checked on air 
bells in the glass and tin spots on the surface. White meaning 
that the glass is somewhat less green. The rest is optically 
correct enough for the job. So you order from a company that 
does the selection for you or you order more sheets from your 
local glass supplier and check the glass yourself. Don't make 
too much fuss about the "white" issue, with 2 mm thick glass 
this isn't a problem. I had some talks with the representative 
of a German optical glass supplier and his comments are 
expressed here.

Have to make a page on my site with all the details.
