Answer to Newton Glass

Answer to Newton Glass

2003-05-25 by HPA

On my slide scanner I use anti-newton glass to hold the transparency film
flat on the top only.  That completely cures it and works great.

(My flatbed is a drawer type, which scans from above the negative, so I
cannot use anti-newton glass there.  If a ring appears, which it does mostly
on glass plate negatives, I put a paper spacer in.)
