I believe that what was meant was a ``transparency adapter'', a 
backlight unit which allows transmissive (as opposed to reflective) 
media (like slides, negatives and transparencies) to be scanned.

Not sure how well it works w/ microfiche though, never had occasion to 
try it, but would imagine you'd need a pretty good scanner.
