[Histonet] Scanner for microscope slides

[Tony Henwood]

We use an Epson Perfection 2450 Photo Scanner. We place the glass slide in
the 35mm holder, place it on the scanner (ensure that back light cover is
off) and scan as you would a 35mm slide.

We also use the scanner for EM negatives, 35mm photos and picture scanning
for Grand Rounds etc.

I will upload some examples to the Histonet Home page for you to look at.

Hello!

I'm thinking of getting a film scanner capaple of scanning microscope
slides. At least for Nikon Coolscan 4000 one can get a microscope slide
adapter.

Any experience of such a setup, or other recommendations?
