<EM>&gt; It is possible to do a spectrographic scanner. As a first cut, take an
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; ordinary scanner, replace the fluorescant tube with some sort of light
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; that emits over a wider spectrum. Now, replace the linear imaging
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; array with a square one, and stick a diffraction grating in the
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; optical path.
</EM><BR>
<P>Huh, clever.
<BR>
You need a lot of light to do that. To get an N sample-per-pixel scan,
<BR>
you need at least N times as much light. You may be able to get step the
<BR>
line more slowly (let the CCD integrate over a longer period of time) but
<BR>
limits to patience may come into play.
<BR>
<P>We have experience making cameras that have multiple sensors, with the
<BR>
image split by a beam splitter, and the simple quantity of available
<BR>
light quickly becomes a limiting factor.
