![]() In order to scan negatives or transparencies on a flatbed, you need some kind of light source to illuminate them correctly. ![]() Theoretically you could use an additional strong light above the slide laying on the regular scanner glass, and not use regular scanner cover, but I would not recommend such nodifications, since perhaps you could not turn off the original light of the scanner below the glass. Their design already allows slide scanning. Some flatbed scanners have a drawer for slides and negatives below normal scanning glass, and that drwader places slides between the light souce below, and the scanning optical element above the drawer, so the light goes through the slide and not get reflected from. I do not know how to explain this, but most scanners that just do reflective scanning, the cover is just flat white plastic panel, so cannot be used. That is the light must go through slide or negative and not get reflected from. Trying to scan negative or slide in ordinary scanner, would cause light reflection off the slide surface and not reflection of the scanner cover that would possibly make some sense. Ordinary scanners do not have source of light in the top cover of the scanner, cannot be used. That is flatbed scanners that have source of light built into the scanner top cover, are appropriate and they come with a slide or negative adapter. Most likely answer is NO, but that depends on the type of scanner, if it has additional light source in the scanner cover or not.įor a flatbed scanner, the light must go through the slides or negatives and into the scanning light sensitive element.
