Abstract: The present invention relates to a flatbed scanner with both a top light source and a bottom light source which can be easily switched by using a top light shield to scan transparent documents and opaque documents. The scanner comprises a housing, a scanning module, a top cover, a top light source, and light shield. The housing comprises a transparent platform for placing a document. The scanning module is slidably installed inside the housing for scanning the document placed on the transparent platform. The scanning module comprises a bottom light source for emitting light upward toward the document and an image converter for converting an image of the document into a digital image. The top cover is movably installed on the housing. The top light source is installed under the top cover for emitting light downward toward the document when the top cover is placed on the transparent platform. The light shield is movably installed under the top cover for shielding the top light source. When the top light source is covered by the light shield, the document image received by the image converter is generated by the light emitted from the bottom light source. When the top light source is not covered by the light shield, the bottom light source will be switched off and the document image received by the image converter is generated by the light emitted from the top light source.

Abstract: An adapter for scanning transparent images using a reflective scanner. The adapter receives light from a lamp inside the scanner and redirects the light through the transparent image and back into the scanner. The scanner has an offset between an illumination line and a scan line. An angle of the adapter relative to the surface of a platen on the scanner is dependent on the distance between the illumination line and the scan line. At least one angle adjuster is provided on the adapter to enable the adapter to be used on scanners having different offsets. In addition, the adapter is made wider than the transparent image to be scanned, so that when the scan line is at a leading or trailing edge of the transparent image, the adapter still captures light from the lamp within the scanner.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a multiple-resolution image scanning apparatus, comprising: a main body with at least one carrier for accommodating an object of one of several data types to be scanned; and a scanning system, installed in the main body and movable parallel to the carrier. The scanning system further comprises: a detector; a light source for illuminating the object; at least two imaging systems with lenses and mirror groups, which alternatively generate an image of an object on the detector at different resolutions and with different light paths; and a switching system, which moves the imaging systems and the detector relative to each other into reading positions, wherein in each of the reading positions the image is generated on the detector by one of the imaging systems. This allows to scan objects of different data types.

Abstract: A video presenter for radiating light toward an object, such as a film negative or transparency, includes an illuminating unit detachably installed within a pallet supporting the object for photographing. To obtain a superior-quality image by uniformly passing light through the object, a recessed portion is formed in the pallet and the illuminating unit is detachably inserted therein. The detachable nature of the illuminating portion permits it to be used apart from the video presenter for other purposes. Further, the illuminating unit may include a diffusion panel for diffusing light emitted by plural light sources; the diffused light being directed upwardly to illuminate the object.

Abstract: A scanning apparatus providing separate fixed focal planes for transmissive and reflective original documents to be scanned, wherein a scan carriage containing illumination, sensor, and optical elements is moved together to scan an original document and to obtain a digitized representation thereof. The movable scan carriage has an illumination source disposed between the reflective and transmissive object focal planes, with the object focal plane to be used selected by changing the position of one or more optical elements within the scan carriage. The resolution of the digitized representation of the scanned original document can be determined by rotation of at least one lens about an axis substantially perpendicular to its optic axis.
