Title: Exchange of glass in Epson V750
Post by: jsch on May 02, 2011, 07:31:36 am

Hi,

I plan to exchange the scanner glass in my Epson V750 to an anti newton glass, because I use it only to scan 8x10 inch film. I found the attached drawing. I guess no. 109 is the scanner glass, does anyone know the exact measurements and the thickness of this glass? Thank you.

Best,
Johannes

Hi Johannes,

While I don't have the answer to your questions, I do offer a piece of advice. The optmal plane of focus is situated slightly above the glass platen! That's why separate holders are available (http://www.betterscanning.com/scanning/mstation.html) for placement on top of the default glas platen. The size of the scanning surface is slightly less than 8x10in, so you might want to consider your own solution with the concept of focus height in mind.

Cheers,
Bart

I'd rather wet mount instead of using Anti-Newton glass, since the AN glass will trade the Anti-Newton effect for loss of sharpness.
