As light travels through a convex lens (used in most slide projectors), the light and slide image are turned upside-down. Therefore, in order to appear correctly on screen, the image must enter the lens upside-down, which would then be inverted by the lens to appear right-side up.

Furthermore, they are reversed left to right. What applies to the vertical holds true for the horizontal. The above holds true for any type of slide projector that performs similar to a Kodak carousel. However, the cube projector (Bell & Howell?) was different because the image bounced off of a mirror before going through the lens. I believe those slides were inserted into the cube right side up, but backwards (left to right), but I'm not sure.

Why do you put slides upside down in a slide projector to see them right side up?

The lenses flip the image (right to left too). You could build a system of mirrors to do the job, but it's cheaper to just load the slides upside down. Note that your eye also flips the image that you see ... but your brain re-flips it so that you see the world right side up. Here's the explanation. Think of the ray of light that goes from the bottom of your slide, through the centre of the lens and on to the screen. Because it goes through the lens centre, where the front and back lens surfaces are parallel it is not deflected (bent) in any way and so just goes straight on. Similarly, the ray of light from the top of your slide going through the lens centre finishes up at the bottom of the screen. The curved surfaces of the lens are there to make sure that all rays from a single point on the slide meet up at the same point on the screen. So what is on the topmost part of your slide appears at the bottom of the screen, and vice versa.

How do you scan 35 mm slides?

Use a Epson RX620 flatbedscanner with builtin slide scanning ability. There are three ways, and that's one of them. They also make "slide scanners." These are flatbeds big enough just to accept a slide, and they've usually just got a little slot in the front to put it in. The best quality comes from drum scanners.
