There are many models of the Creo ,they I all have Auto-focus. Creo software is available
that enables the scanner to focus manually, and that computes the glass thickness and air
space. Some models of the Creo are exceptional in that they are in effect film scanners in
camouflage, with a flatbed glass as a convenience. By locating the sensors on the lid and the
illumination under the glass, these scanners avoid refracting the image since the glass bed is
on the side of the illuminant, and the light from the image goes straight to the sensors without
being refracted by glass.
Because of the auto-focus capability, the film can be placed straight on the flatbed, and fluid
scanned is absolutely necessary on the flatbed. However use of the flatbed glass in this
manner is not recommended because it exposes the glass to wear and scratches.
ScanScience makes adapters which avoid using the glass bed. Also by placing the film 1 mm
above the flatbed, the focus is on the film (at 1 mm) and any scratches on the glass (at 0
mm) are out of focus. The ScanScience Creo adapters also cover the entire area of the
flatbed and block any light not directed at the film.
When ordering kits for the Creo you can order all the custom features you need, ask for
details.
