I'm flabbergasted, yeah, it does seem to have the illuminated back. I never looked far enough to see that the mat covering the inside of the lid was removable.

I don't recall film holders at all, but will definitely have to look into getting some. I bought this thing when we moved, to get set up ASAP for a remote home office, so documents and some photos have always been the purpose. I had taken the slides in a box to a photo place, where they used some setup with a DSLR to get JPEGs, but now I'll need to dig the box back out. Thanks!
