Specimens, insects, minerals, ancient relics, paintings, and building materials are some the objects that you can scan on Microtek ObjectScan 1600 Scanner
On-Top Scan Design Protects Fragile Materials
The on-top scanning structure removes the need to flip objects or press them against glass. This protects both the item and the scanner surface. Because of this design, the ObjectScan 1600 becomes ideal for old, brittle, or delicate originals. Users can digitize sensitive materials without fear of damage.
Two Scan Beds for Different Object Heights
Two scan beds give users flexibility when placing objects. Items shorter than 7 cm fit perfectly on the upper bed. Taller items sit on the lower bed to maintain clarity and extended depth of field. This simple approach helps users align objects correctly and produce accurate scans every time.
Extended Depth of Field for Clear 3D Images
The ObjectScan 1600 Object Scanner offers an impressive DOF of ±6.5 mm at 300 dpi and ±13 mm at 150 dpi. This depth handles uneven or partially raised surfaces, including plant specimens and textured materials. As a result, you receive crisp EDF images without blur or distortion. This capability reduces rescans and saves valuable time.
Tri-Wavelength LED for True and Brilliant Color
This scanner uses tri-wavelength LED lighting, which produces a color gamut close to NTSC standards. Consequently, scanned images appear vibrant and realistic. Users capture deeper tones and richer detail than typical LED systems can provide. The LED also eliminates warm-up time, reduces energy waste, and avoids common camera-based issues with shadows or exposure.
High-Resolution CCD Ensures Perfect Image Quality
A color linear CCD sensor delivers up to 1600 pixels per inch. Combined with a 48-bit ADC, it converts object textures and shapes into sharp, faithful digital files. Researchers can examine details clearly without touching fragile originals. This reduces handling and protects valuable collections over time.
Fast A3 Scanning with Automatic File Saving
The ObjectScan 1600 Object Scanner covers an A3 scanning area in a single pass. Therefore, users no longer waste time stitching images. The system also saves files automatically after each scan. This creates a smooth, efficient workflow and ensures that important work is never lost.
