I've never scanned slides in glass mounts at all.  For 35mm, either I scan
them mounted without glass (usually plastic mounts), or I scan them in
strips without glass.  For 6x6, either I scan them in strips unmounted and
without glass (rare, because it's hard to keep the film flat), or I scan
them in Nikon's anti-newton glass holder (as opposed to glass mounts).  I've
seen no drop in resolution or sharpness with the anti-newton glass holder.
