 We have thousands
      of 35mm slides, and now we can digitize them for saving the rapidly
      fading ektachromes. Many requre a lot of photoshop work to fix
      the degrading appearance. This holds the slides securely in a
      home brew slide holder for my macro lens.

 Solidworks
            drawing of part for holding slides. You insert the slide in the
            top of the fork, and it comes to rest in a groove at the bottom.
 
        
      

      

        

          
 
          
 Here
            is the slide copier in action. The camera is mounted on an aluminum
            frame over the holder, and the macro lens focuses on the slide.
            The distance is set so the slide fills the field. It is sitting
            on an illuminated light table with a 5600k light source inside.
 
        
      

        

          
 
          
 Closer,
            you can see the slide in the carrier.
