As far as I know, this is basically just a light box that sits on top of
the slide -- _but_ the trick is that it also turns off the light inside the
scanner. It might be possible to make the same effect happen with a normal
scanner, but not without some butchering.
That said, the following page has a method to get around this problem; I've
not tried it myself, but it looks plausible:
