I've never seen a glass mounted slide and should have educated myself a
bit more before replying about use on a scanner. Glass mounts are still
available today (if you really want them) but what's available today is
only the 3mm thick version. It used to be that 2mm was available.
Anyhow I decided to check my Epson 700's slide holder and see that it
*might* hold 3mm thick slides. A stack of 3 Kodachrome slides is 3.5mm
thick and it *almost* fits. Removing 0.5mm just might do it.
Although I said I've never seen glass mounted slides I actually had a
box of Gepe glass mounts that had been kicking around the house for
years. I don't know where they came from or why I had them. I don't
know how thick they were (probably 3mm) but I went looking for them to
check the Epson's slide holder. When I couldn't find them where I
expected them to be I suddenly realized that I had trashed them about 2
weeks ago. Isn't that too often true? You have something for years and
years and have no use for it. Throw it out and like magic the need
appears. :-) I think it was a box of 50. I see at B&H that they range
in price from about 50-95 cents/each depending on quantity. Too bad.
ps: If you're going to put 3mm glass slides into a Kodak Carousel
projector (maybe to shoot off the wall) you can only use the 80 slide
trays. 3mm is too thick for the the 140 slide trays.

Flatbed scanner w/ light lid?
Yup. Any Canon or Epson flatbed scanner with tranny/film lid will do the trick.
