ABSTRACT:
An optical system for scanning a transparency. The optical system includes a light source that emits a longitudinally and laterally diverging beam of light. A torodial shaped mirror is positioned to refocus the light beam along both its longitudinal and lateral axes so that it becomes a focused light beam. The inwardly converging light beam is directed onto the transparency to be scanned. A complementary light sensor is positioned to receive the illuminated beam of light formed as a consequence of the transparency scanning.
