a glass slide in a Polaroid 35 mm slide reader and scan in images that
way. I remember a price tag of about $600 for the adaptor and some
software I believe.

There is an optional "Path Scan Enabler". This option acts as a
carrier for a glass microscope slide to be scanned by the Sprint Scan
35.
There are three models available, 10 bit/1950 dpi, 10 bit/2700 dpi,
and 12 bit/2700 dpi. They operate on both PC and Mac platforms.
The scanning software provides for a preview mode that offers image
optimization prior to the actual scan.
Please contact me if you require additional information or visit our
website at www.polaroid.com.

I use the polaroid SprintScan 35 when I am scanning histological
sections. I use with it the PathScan enabler. The SprintScan can be
used with either Windows or Macintosh with the appropiate software and
SCSI. You can get the Scanner at a computer store. The PathScan
enabler is available from Meyer Instruments (713)579-0342, Houston
Texas.
The scanner gives pretty good resolution from the entire slide. The
files tend to be quite large. So you want to make sure you have
enough RAM and space to store these files.
