3D Stereo Slide Scanning Services
Your stereo slides are called stereograms and they are meant to be viewed exclusively through a stereoscope. The first stereoscope was actually invented in 1838, before photography was even available, so they used drawings instead.So how did you end up with stereo slides in your collection? In 1958, it cost $129 to buy a Stereo Realist camera for stereo photography, and you needed this camera or one made by a competitor to create these images. The process was much more elaborate than just snapping a photo. In addition to the particular way the camera needed to be operated, the slides also had to be specially mounted for viewing. It was an entirely new format of slide, so there are whole lines of accessories and supplies that are just for stereo slides and can’t be used for regular slides, although the cameras themselves were designed to use Kodachrome slide film.

Standard & custom pricing for scanning stereo realist slides
EverPresent’s unique approach to pricing:
- Our team will walk you through the technical options in advance before you commit to anything. It’s free to get your materials to us for an estimate and there’s no upfront payment.
- We only charge for the work we do, not for a preset numbers of items. We don’t promote flashy discounts or expiring coupons. We offer volume discounts because it’s fair, and we apply them automatically.
- We offer the widest range of options and capabilities to assure your project gets what it needs, but out of respect for your budget, never more than it needs. In our business, one size rarely fits all (or fits in a box).

There are two images on your stereo slide mount, but they are not EXACTLY the same. Because they are meant to create the illusion of depth, the photos are produced by taking a snap from the perspective of both your right and left eye. The difference between the two is so miniscule, they appear to be completely identical, even though they are not. These perspectives are important when viewing them in a stereoscope, but when digitizing stereo slides, it doesn’t matter which you choose, they will look the same when digital.
Stereo slides are a specialty format so they are priced differently than our regular slide scanning. Our expertly trained technicians have special mounts and processes for cleaning, optimizing and getting the most out of your stereo slides.

You don’t need a stereoscope to view your stereo slides or other stereograms. The transparencies are created from slide film, so you can easily use a lightbox to view the images. The stereoscope is great to have if you want the full, illusionary effect, but it’s not necessary!
