<i>&gt; &gt; It looks like a white calibration table for each pixel of the ccd that</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; is used for the requested scan. So - I think - if a CCD-pixel has an other</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; output level than the other CCD-pixels, it can be corrected that way.</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; May be it is possible to do a kind of highlight-function by that.</i><br>
<p>
<i>&gt; This sort of correction has to be done very carefully when one uses</i><br>
<i>&gt; a ccd camera for Astronomical purposes. It's called a "flat-field"</i><br>
<i>&gt; calibration and was often done by taking pictures of the inside of</i><br>
<i>&gt; the closed telescope dome. In fact sometimes it was hard to see</i><br>
<i>&gt; things until this correction was done. I'm not surprised that a way</i><br>
<i>&gt; of doing this has been provided in a scanner that uses a ccd</i><br>
<i>&gt; detector.</i><br>
<p>
My scanner, the Tamarack 12000C, does this on its own whenever you tell<br>
it to start scanning. Pain in the A**: It does this EVERY time you tell<br>
it to scan, not just the first time during every session.<br>
<p>
The astronomer types also trust the CCD to remain for the twenty<br>
minutes that they use to take a picture so why can't my desktop<br>
scanner?<br>
