Some illustrations, since I did a wet scan yesterday.
What you see is a strip of MF film on the glass surface facing the camera, with a cover sheet on top, and wetmounting fluid that by its surface tension keeps everything in place.
On the underside are two strips of black tape to mask out the area outside the MF strip.
In one of the illustrations you can see a small light circle, that's a bubble that I have not yet squeezed out. You can also tell from the reflections that the surface is not perfectly mirror flat, that's because specks of dust have been captured in the wetmounting - my home office isn't dust free. ICE will take care of most of that, but I do find it necessary to do a manual dust removal pass on a wetscanned image.
