These precision optics deliver image information to PMT. Most of the scanners work with three matched PMTs that can read three colors of red blue and green lights respectively. Light reflecting from the object splits into red, green and blue light beams in the optical bench of scanner.
(2)Flatbed Scanners: Flatbed scanner constitutes of a glass pane, under which a bright light comes from. This light can be cold cathode fluorescent or xenon. At the time of scanning this light illuminates the glass pane. Color scanners consist of 3 arrays of red, green and blue filters.
(3)Hand Scanners: The name itself suggests that this device is operated manually. These are dragged on the surface of the image which has to be scanned. But this act needs absolute mastery in the art; otherwise, it can result into uneven scrolling of the machine and eventually bad quality scanning.
