ABSTRACT:
The film scanner of the present invention basically comprises an image capture module, a media holder, and a screw drive. The image capture module comprises a pressure guide, a reflector, a lens, and an image sensor. A pressure guide with a window through which an image of the media is captured by the image sensor, and the reflector, lens, and the image sensor are all mounted in the same housing to remain in a fixed position relative to each other. In order to maintain good contact between the media holder and the pressure guide, an arm tension scheme is utilized. Since a force pushes the pressure guide down onto the media holder, the resultant scanned image is of high quality. In one embodiment, the media holder is a removable magazine allowing for a wide variety of media to be scanned.
