This question/observation is raised by John's comment below. 

It seems to me that "image path" *is* certainly a scanner concept, especially for the configuration of my
ArtixScan 1800f. I think the following observation is factual: Since the light source sits underneath the
glass tray used for transparencies, the light sensor must travel above the tray and the image quality would be
degraded by less than optical quality glass placed on top of my negs to hold them flat. Hopefully, a sheet of
anti-Newton glass will take care of the rings without interfering with the image.

<excerpt from John's response->

I don't think "image path" is a scanner concept. It only sees points
of light. Theoretically a layer of glass might disperse or even
attenuate light and lose data. In practice that may not be
significant. For example, Nikon 8000/9000 accessory 120 carrier uses
glass..an even better carrier for it uses glass and fluid (Aztek). One
reads that these glass carriers are also better for 35 with that scanner.
