Normal scans are done by reflected light but a transparency requires transmitted light. Hence, an adapter is required. Resolution tends to be a problem because of the size of a slide. Film scanners can handle a transparency as well as a negative. The image is simply inverted in software to make a positive. This step is not needed for the slide.
