Did Epson add Peltier elements in between :-)

Greg, it will be difficult to get any cooling on the sensor. 
The sensor carriage (sensor, lenses, mirrors) has to cross the 
length of the scanner. Any cooling system will add weight and 
has to dissipate the heat somewhere outside the  shell of the 
scanner. That's easier to implant on a fixed sensor + lens 
system like the Imacon (some have it) or the Nikons (don't 
have it). A silver bucket against the sensor where you drop a 
lump of ice in per hour may be the only practical solution. 
That model will carry the ddICE sticker.
