This is the guts of the setup I've been using to
digitize slides. When in use, there is also a black tube shielding
the space between the camera and the slide holder to minimize stray
light. I also drape a black cloth over the light fixture and the
slide holder to keep from blinding myself when I'm positioning the
slide holder. The photos cover a bit more area then the actual slide
which gives room for shifts and rotations in processing without loss.
The slightly smaller field does not hurt the resolution because the
digital camera is sharper than the slides. The light bulb has a color
temperature switch that is set to 5000 deg.
