Re: Realist format slide scanner?

This is October 2017.  I am nearly 80 years old and have a fairly large collection of stereo slides made with one or the other of two Stereo Realist cameras.  Up to now viewing these has been largely limited to hand-held viewers and one person at a time.  I have seen a device that seems to be available now on the internet for viewing stereo pictures using an I-phone.  The problem is digitizing the original slides and making them available.  The examples I have seen on various websites look terrific, and can be viewed in 2-D (side by side) or 3-D if you have a viewing adapter.  I plan to leave the 3-D viewing up to any individual who sees my webpage, but I don't know how to scan the double images and make them available.  I own a Canoscan 9000F scanner. I see there is an updated 9000F available, but don't know if it is more flexible than the original or what it would cost to buy the new one.  Up to now, I have not been able to get my Canoscan 9000F to accept the stereo format.  What do I need--equipment and settings?  Can you tell me how to scan my pictures in today's technological environment?
