Slide Mounts and Mounting Supplies for Stereo Photography

We offer a wide variety of mounts and equipment for your mounting needs.  From RBT mounts to silver-Mylar tape...to light boxes and instructional books we offer all you need to start mounting immediately.

Mounts

RBT Mounts

These are heavy duty plastic mounts available in 4P(Nimslo or Close-up), 5P(Realist), 7P(European, Fed) and 8P(Full-frame and RBT) and are the most accurate of all mounts and easiest to use.  This registration system makes them a snap for beginners and great for advanced users.  Vertical adjustment can be made from 0.2 to 0.4mm.  A channel, tab system allows for simple precision mounting.

Cardboard Mounts

All the cardboard stereo mounts listed below have the following features:

Alignment register for mounting quickly and accurately — The R- format (41 x 101) mounts use a "register" (picture) to help align the film chips in the mounts. Here's how easy it is: First place the film chips (face down*) into the two "film well" cutouts. Then push the film chips against the top or bottom edge of the film well to set the vertical alignment. The film well cutouts are wider than the standard width of a Realist-format (5P) image, allowing full control of the stereo window by simply sliding the chips left or right. Secure each chip with magic tape, silver mylar tape (recommended), Wess tabs, glue, or adhesive of your choice. Quick and easy alignment with no jig, no transfer, and no raised tabs getting in the way of setting the stereo window!

High quality card stock—fewer distracting "fuzzies" than some other cardboard mounts.

Special inside layer—medium gray inside layer is film-friendly (pH neutral) and provides improved opacity (light-blocking) compared to other mounts. No more "light halos" around your images!

Spotting dot—printed in the correct location (lower left corner as oriented for hand viewing), making the mounting process even faster and more convenient! No more red dot labels that dry out and drop off, no more scribbling an ink dot on mount after mount!

Heat Seal Stereo Mounts

Standard format ( 41 x 101) stereo slide mounts with a new type of heat seal. Chip placement "register" aids alignment without the problems of guide tabs.  These need a tacking iron or a regular iron to seal.

While similar in some respects to other heat seal mounts, this new mount offers several advantages. Instead of raised tabs, they have a "register" (on the inside surface of the front half of the mount) to help correctly align the film chips, without the use of a mounting jig. After affixing the film chips to the mount (with your choice of tape, glue, or adhesive positioning tabs), just fold and seal shut with heat.  The register creates a sort of channel in which the film chips can slide horizontally before sealing, allowing full control of the stereo window. Both styles of the new 5-perf mounts also feature a printed spotting dot in the correct location (lower left corner as oriented for hand viewing).

Plastic Medium format slide mounts

These are made especially for our Medium Format 3D Explorer viewer.  It is made for mounting Medium Format slides that are 2 1/4" x 2 1/4" (6cm x 6 cm).  They are made of black plastic.  Each box includes 10 mounts.

Cardboard Medium Format Slide Mounts

These are for medium format slide mounts that are white card stock.  They are for Medium Format slides that are 2 1/4" x 2 1/4" (6cm x 6 cm) .  While they are not made for the Medium Format 3D Explorer Viewer they do fit it loosely.

Stereo Slide Protectors

These handy plastic sleeves are perfect for protecting stereo slides in storage and when in use with a hand viewer.  Stop fingerprints and dust from destroying your stereo slides.  Remove before using the slides for projection.

Blackstone Coated Heat Sealing Iron

This is a perfect hand iron for sealing your heat seal stereo mounts.  It has an adjustable  temperature control and a non-stick Blackstone coating.  It also will handle many other dry-mounting chores.  It temperature range goes from 150^oF (65^oC) up to 410^oF (210^oC).  It comes with a stand.

Light Box

4x5 DC/AC Portable Light Box This compact (6-1/4" x 5-1/2") viewer operates on 4 "C" batteries (not included) for true portability or optional AC adapter. Viewing area is 4-7/8" x 4-1/4". It sits flat or at angle with fold away stand and includes daylight temperature 5400° K light tube.

Silver Mylar Tape

Silver Mylar Tape Thin Mylar tape with perfectly smooth edges.  The 3/8" designed for either taping slides in the mount or sealing a paper stereo mount. Also useful in binding stereo mounts in glass.  The 1/4 inch is useful for taping chips in stereo mounts.

Q-vu Stereocard Mounts 

These are die cut folding cardboard stereoview card mounts which simplify mounting prints for stereocards for our Holmes viewers or any antique stereoscope.  We also have instructions for mounting with these in our technical section. They work well with photos made with our 3D-Lens-in-a-cap, the Loreo MK II cameras, Argus, Loreo and Discovery Store 3D Cameras, along with beamsplitter photos, photos made from slide bars and twin camera bars and digital cameras. 

35mm & Medium Format Slide Film Cutter

Use to this to cut roll slide film into accurate frames. The film formats of most stereo cameras, while using conventional 35mm slide film do not have conventional (8p) slide formats.  Most are smaller.  This necessitates that one must have the film processed without cutting or mounting.  At this point the film must be cut and mounted by the photographer.  This is a guillotine style cutter and while non-illuminated can be placed on a light box for illuminated use.  Our model handles both medium format (120 or 220) and 35mm film.

Adhesive Positioning Tabs

These tabs ease positioning slide chips when mounting.  Using tweezers, or your fingers remove tab and place on perforations of film to fix onto mount.  Simply pull on the paper tab holder to make 2 tabs automatically pop up for easy use.  No searching for ends of tape or struggling with tape during the mounting process.  The dispenser holds 1000 1/2 x 1/4" stickers.

3-D Mounting Guide

A Practical Guide to Mounting Stereo Slides
by Harry zur Kleinsmiede

3-D Mounting Guide can be seen as a supplement to The World of 3-D!
This book presents a compact and non-technical explanation of the basics of stereo viewing and the requirements of a properly mounted slide. A simple stereo drawing is used repeatedly to show correct mounting as well as almost every possible error.

Those who want to learn the basics without being intimidated by technical theories or complex equipment will find 3-D Mounting Guide quite direct and to the point. Like The World of 3D it contains many stereo pairs which are suitable for free viewing or viewing with a simple viewer. 

Stereo Slide Mounting Kit

This includes the Slide Cutter, light box, positioning tabs, mounting book with lorgnette (for viewing images in mounting book and previewing images during mounting), and small plastic stereo slide viewer (Catalogue number 360) for viewing mounted slides.  This is an ~$80 value we offer at 69.95.
