Looking at the LS-8000 help files it appears only the single frame rotating glass holder comes with overlay spacers? As I work with the LS-8000 I see the DOF is indeed limited as others have noted, and think the glass holder is a good accessory for critical scans, but the damn thing retails for $350:( Making spacers isn't difficult (black "craft" paper is sufficient), and it keeps contact pressure low where (and if) the base side touches glass.
