Presumably a film scanner cannot cope with a glass mounted slide, especially

I have done a little bit of experimenting with Gepe glass mounts, and drum
scanning oil. The combination are then used in a film scanner. There is no
patterning problem, the colours are easier to accurately capture, and the
dynamic range seems to improve slightly. The only problem is this is a slow
process. Without the drum scanning oil, I think the only reason to use a glass
mount would be if the original transparency has curled badly.
