Another solution might be to use Wess plastic mounts. They have a version that has pegs in the mount that match the sprocket holes in 35mm film and they hold the film very flat without having to deal with glass. They come in a version that shows the full 35mm frame. I think that Wess has been sold but I think that someone else is making the mounts. They are very good.

I took one of my anti-Newton glass mounts, and yanked out the glass on the emulsion side. It worked fairly well, although I have some slides that, as a result of a fire, have such horrible ripples in them that they won't even lie flat when sandwiched between two pieces of glass. Besides, it's such a pain to do that, that I'd gladly buy a different scanner if it would solve the problem. Anyway, thanks for the input. -- Ciao, Paul D.
