We we write about scanning services, we’re usually talking about document conversion or some sort of way to manage your documents better.
In reality, there are lots of different things that can be scanned. Let’s take a few minutes and think about some interesting facts about scanning!
- Scanning a negative (film) is actually better than scanning the actual picture. This is because it has more color resolution and you are able to work from the original as opposed to a print.
- Iris scanners are becoming more common in high-security applications because people’s eyes are so unique (the chance of mistaking one iris code for another is 1 in 10 to the 78th power [ref]. They also allow more than 200 points of reference for comparison, as opposed to 60 or 70 points in fingerprints.
- QR codes were first brought to the public in 1996 and actually don’t have to be black and white. As long as there is a darker and a lighter color for contrast, they can look however they want.
- MRI scans do not expose you to radiation, but CT scans expose you to much higher doses of radiation than regular x-rays.
- The first time a barcode was put in place to be scanned, was actually used to label railroad cars.
- The first flatbed scanner was made in the 1970’s which made it possible to take paper text and digitize it.
As you can see, scanning isn’t just for documents anymore. It’s becoming commonplace through multiple mediums and on every spectrum of society.
