We use Macintosh computers and do most all of our scanning 
on an AGFA Arcus II.  I'm not sure if they sell that model 
any longer but I'm sure the latest model would have at lest 
the same quality if not better.  We scan x-rays, 35 mm 
slides, we have even placed MMA embedded sections directly 
in the scanner and got excellent results.
