Dosen't a scanner need to "bounce" light onto something to read it's
reflection/absorbtion...this would require a reflective/absorbant surface rather
than additional light being passed into the scanner. Maybe if you could disable
it's light output...? who knows, but I don' think it's that easy.

It occured to me that one might be able to produce a "film scanner" very
cheaply by:
using a very inexpensive flat bed scanner and projecting the image of a
slide onto the scanner surface with a slide projector or enlarger. The
imaging surface would have to be a ground glass or other opaque surface
and might be achieved simply by grinding the existing glass with a very
fine grit.
Anybody ever try something like this. Is it workable or a dumb idea?
Could it be as simple as taping a piece of waxed paper over the glass to
form the imaging surface? I'd try it if I had a scanner.
