Film does not work that way, because the image lives in a material that light needs to pass through rather than reflect off. A transparency unit supplies illumination from the opposite side of the glass so light travels through the original on its way to the sensor, and that is what allows an Expression scanner to capture the positive and negative transparent materials this option is built for.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Epson Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52327279034552,"sku":"B12B819221","price":814.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0794\/9110\/4952\/files\/1037724651_545beb79-4b25-4394-aea1-5af8279cd4fa.jpg?v=1764195157","url":"https:\/\/islandelectricalsupply.com\/products\/epson-transparency-unit-b12b819221-12000xl-13000xl","provider":"Island Electrical Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
