    <pre> Hi Judith,

    We have a Microtek Scanmaker 5 that we purchased last year. It scans both reflective and transparency, and has many templates for holding different size objects. It has a 1000 x 2000 optical resolution, a generous 8.5 x 14" scanning area and comes with easy to use software. I used a Microtek slide scanner for years and was impressed by its performance and ease-of-use, which made the choice for a flatbed scanner that much easier.
