NAME OF THE INSTRUMENT
Desktop planetary scanner
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The planetary scanner of MOLAB is a scanning system for digitization of documents and volumes made with various types of media and even in poor condition, with formats up to A2+ (625 mm x 420 mm), both in colour scale and grayscale mode. The digitization process takes place quickly and with reduced geometric distortions and high fidelity in colour reproduction; the preservation of the integrity of the originals is also guaranteed. This scanning system is particularly suitable for the digital conversion of archival and book cultural heritage thanks to the preservation of the original documents’ integrity. The system integrates a professional digital camera, allowing digitization also without the direct contact with originals documents. It is also equipped with an adaptable support for a V-mode scanning to handle books and volumes that can be opened at 120° or even just 90°.
An integrated computer with professional photo editing software allows to control the scanning process with a wide range of options and features for mass digitization. Image optimization and correction, different output formats such as .tiff, .jpg,. raw or multi-page .pdf, with OCR text in 51 different languages are some example of post-production functions.

NAME OF THE INSTRUMENT
Large Format Scanner
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The large format scanner of MOLAB is equipped with a wide recovery plane and allows the professional digitization of thick and large-format paper documents (and not only), i.e., cartographies, maps, drawings, tables etc. The presence of special transport rollers, which act as soft pressure points, allows documents to slide safely. Acquisition is in colour, b/w and grey tones with high optical resolution, colour accuracy and excellent speed in elaboration. CIS (Contact Image Sensor) scanning technology allows sharp and clear reproduction of details and lines. Output files are managed by a small touchscreen controller for quick post-production processing and can be archived directly to FTP servers, hot folders, USB drives, Internet clouds
