Nikon CoolScan LS-2000 35mm Film/Slide Scanner with MA-20 slide mount adapter and the FH-2 Film Strip Holder.  LS-2000 has ICE Dust & Scratch Removal.

With the LS-2000, Nikon has achieved dramatic improvements, and significantly raised the bar for the entire field of desktop scanners. The LS-2000 set a new standard for desktop scanning, and introduced a near-magical technology for automatically removing dirt and film blemishes. (This last referring to their implementation of the "Digital ICE" technology developed by the aptly named company Applied Science Fiction. 

Nikon's "Digital ICE" (for Image Correction Enhancement) defect-removal solution, is truly one of the most amazing innovations in scanner technology we've ever seen. Under optimal circumstances, it can completely remove scratches, dust, and fingerprints from a slide or negative, while leaving the underlying image untouched! This was so amazing, we had to try it ourselves, and so found an old and badly scratched color negative to scan. This particular negative was rescued from the concrete floor of a storage area, where it had fallen out of a storage box, been walked on, and apparently handled with extremely dirty, sweaty fingers: In normal use, we doubt you'd ever encounter a negative as badly damaged as this one was. Even with this extreme level of damage though, the results were pretty astonishing, as seen in the before/after images above and below. While Nikon and the technology developer Applied Science Fiction (appropriate name, that) are perhaps deliberately sketchy on the details, ICE generally works by varying the lens focus to separate defects on the film's surface or substrate, at a different depth within the film/emulsion sandwich than the image data itself.
