Is there any information that comes with the slides or I could buy that would explain more about the image seen on the slide?

The slides are in order and it tells what each slide is from. My 8 year old grandson can figure it out so I think it's pretty self explainatory!

Most of the slides get saved as 4680 By 3072. Which Is saved in 14 Mega Pixel JPEG Format.I personally love the unit. There is also a 20 Mega Pixel one made by them on the market now too.

While most of the slides I did were color, about 10% were black and white or another monochrome palette. They came out fine. You can adjust the color balance on the device to enhance the digital version, but I found it much easier to just shoot the slide and then tweak it on my computer with regard to color balance, contrast, etc. Toughest thing in the whole process is just making sure you have correctly mounted the slides in the 4-slide tray and that it closes completely. After a couple of tries, it becomes second nature.

It will work, just not well. This is NOT your slide scanning answer. I found it to be a complete waste of money and time. NO instructions for using it and the products come out looking horrible....

Yes, slides are provided and blank ones as well that you can use to make your own. (The stain for these is provided too!)

Hi Judy, if you are interested in purchasing the slide from me, I will measure it and send the details.

I wish I had an easy answer. You can likely order the slide. As for fixing, usually it is more expensive than replacing. I got mine on eBay very inexpensive.

I have only fooled with this a little, but yes, you insert the slides one at a time and the slide is scanned to a memory card (you supply). I think there is a way to scan to a file on your computer but I haven't been home to try all the features. The operation is very simple, there is a way to specify bw negatives, color negative, or slides. I am a little concerned about the quality of the images, but I need to get an image from a slide I've had professionally scanned, and then compare the two scans.

There are basic instructions but nothing detailed. They provide dimensions and guidelines. However, there is quite a bit of information online about installing slides.

This was purchased as a gift, but I don't believe it came with slides. I purchased a starter set of slides separately.

The slide is red. It looks magenta/ pink in the pictures for some reason, but the actual product I received was in fact red!

I purchased the slide at a discounted price at the end of last summer and it has been stored ever since. Will try to dig it out and check. These slides are a blast, but unfortunately NEVER last very long.

stereo slides were generally taken by the 35mm Twin lens Stereo Realist camera. They are two identical images taken at the same time separated an inch or so apart. Generally viewed by a little hand held viewer. Since the stereo slide is much larger you may have to remove one of the images and scan it separately. You won't have the stereo effect with the single image.

I don't know anything about that either. We bought it for our 5 year old grandchildren as a learning experience. We did buy a set of 25 slide specimens with it to get started. They absolutely love both the scope and slides. They've now gone on to looking at things around the house, i.e. dog hair, leaves, bugs, and more, continue enjoying it. If you are just getting started, try doing what we did and go from there.

You might want to try some motorcycle chain wax (not oil) on the slides. It comes in an aerosol can.
