My scanner, an Agfa Snapscan has an attachment for scanning 35mm slides,
but is is quite old 7 years or thereabouts. You may be able to find a
more modern scanner that can do what you want.
If its any help, the lid has two grooves that support about 6 or 7
slides with a light in the lid behind them. You could make a light box
and try it !
