I have a Canon Canoscan 9950F flatbed scanner that has a light source in
the lid that basically back lights the slides or negs for the scanner to
scan. It is several years old but has worked pretty well. I can scan 12
35mm slides at a go, or four 35mm neg strips. It has software that
identifies the individual frames and lets you save them as individual
files. Yes, it's slow, yes it's a lot of work. So far the quality from
slides has been better than from negs or even prints. I scan in JPEG.
Here's an example;
