Hi Simon,

At least with the Leafscan 45, you DO load the film into the holder emulsion
side down, AND the holder is placed in the scanner upside down, therefore
emulsion side up...so for the Leaf, what you say makes perfect
sense...except the Leaf has the CCD on the top, and the light source is on
the bottom.  I am guessing with the Imacon, the light source is on the top,
and the CCD on the bottom?

Either way, the emulsion faces the CCD, just like in an enlarger, the
emulsion faces the paper...  Check to see if the holder goes in upside down,
which would make both statements you said correct.

Austin
